Community Reintegration - Community outings are used to practice
higher level mobility, endurance, and safety skills. A transitional hospital room
is used to evaluate a patients readiness to return home, giving patients and
families the opportunity to practice an independent living situation
under the supervision of the rehabilitation team.
Support Groups - Patients, families and caregivers can participate
in on-site support group sessions. One-on-one meetings with social workers, psychologists
and other support personnel can be arranged.
Case Management - A case manager coordinates each patients
treatment and discharge plan, and communicates progress and goals to patient and family,
external case managers and insurance providers.
Home Assessment - Prior to discharge, a staff member may evaluate
the patients living environment to assess the ability to function in that
setting.
Continuum of Care
Upon discharge, follow-up appointments are scheduled with the primary care physician
or specialist, as well as with the rehabilitation physician. This helps to ensure that
the patient is receiving the recommended home health or outpatient services and provides
the continuity necessary for successful rehabilitation. The Rehabcentre also offers
on-site outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy.
Program Outcomes
The Rehabcentre shows positive results* - with patients obtaining the independence
skills necessary to return to the home environment. This helps demonstrate the success
of our rehabilitation program, as well as the satisfaction of our patients.
