Discharge Planning

Prior to a patient’s discharge from our facility, our rehabilitative professionals ascertain he or she is ready for the challenges involved with returning home or to an alternate level of care. In addition to outlining personalized exercise plans and guidelines for safely performing daily routines, our therapists will verify each patient can manage stairs and other obstacles related to returning home. When needed, a therapist will visit your home to assess physical obstacles and identify equipment necessary for accessibility.  Our social worker may arrange for wheelchair assistance or other assistive devices, and our dietician may go over dietary issues that could impact a full recovery. If applicable, our nurses will provide information on wound care and medication management. All this will ensure that once they leave our facility, patients will be adequately prepared to resume optimal functionality and independence.
