The Program

A Team Approach

The rehabilitation team meets weekly to review and plan each patient's treatment plan. Estimated discharge dates and discharge needs for services and equipment are also discussed. The results of this meeting are communicated to patients and caregivers by the case manager.

Family Involvement

We encourage your family to observe and participate in your therapy and care. You will be given a schedule each day, and your family is invited to talk with your nurse about participating in a specific activity. Primary caregivers might be asked to participate in one or more of the following activities, so it is helpful to the team if families identify the primary caregiver as soon as possible:

• Observing therapies and nursing activities for a full morning or afternoon
• Hands-on participation with therapists and nurses in
  • Bed/wheelchair positioning
  • Wheelchair mobility/ambulation
  • Strategies for attention and communication
  • Personal care needs
  • Medication teaching
• A community outing or home evaluation to begin your transition from the rehabilitation setting may be planned, based on your specific needs.
