We make it possible for people to live meaningful and fulfilled lives despite physical and mental handicaps, injuries, disabilities or illness.
We manage the impact of illnesses or injuries on patients and their families through coordinated, complex care, in a person-centric way and with interdisciplinary teams – in the acute setting post-acute setting (physical rehabilitation) and along the whole post-acute continuum of care.

What You Can Expect

Family Meetings
Meetings are held with you and your family to discuss initial assessments, rehabilitation outcomes, and discharge planning.
This provides a platform to discuss your diagnosis, the impact of this on your previous level of functioning and your rehabilitation goals. Any challenges or barriers that may need to be considered when assisting your family with discharge planning are also identified and discussed during this time to ensure that these can be addressed before discharge takes place.
Discharge Planning
Training will be provided with carers and/or your family members prior to discharge to assist to ensure continuity of care at home.
Thorough assessments will be done prior to discharge to determine what equipment and assistive devices will be needed to maximize the level of independence and alleviate the burden of care.
In appropriate cases, work assessments will form part of discharge planning to determine whether a patient will be able to return to work.
Out-Patient Services
These services ensure that you continue to receive the therapeutic and medical treatment that you need to remain as safe and independent as possible at home and assist with further achieving a higher level of functioning.
