Support Groups - Patients, families and caregivers have the opportunity to attend on-site support group sessions. One-on-one meeting with social workers, psychologists and other support personnel may also be provided.  

Family Conferences - Patients and their families may meet with members of the treatment team to discuss progress, discharge planning and any concerns.  

Family & Caregiver Training - Training is provided for family members and caregivers to ensure the skills necessary to assist the patients with daily activities in the home or other environment. This promotes the continuation of the rehabilitation program after discharge. Family members and caregivers are encouraged to attend the “New Start” stroke education classes offered in conjunction with the American Heart Association.

Home Assessment - Prior to discharge, a staff member may evaluate the patient’s living environment to assess the ability to function in that setting. Recommendations for any adaptations are also suggested.

Continuum of Care - After discharge, follow-up appointments are scheduled with the primary care physician or specialist, and 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.
