The purpose of rehabilitation is to help the patient reach the highest level of function by preventing complications, reducing disability and improving independence.
Rehabilitation team members work with hospitalized patients to optimize their recovery from the acute phase of an illness, injury or surgery and to assist with safe and timely discharge.
There are 4 inpatient units with ‘designated’ adult rehabilitation beds in the region:
Smaller facilities also have rehabilitation for inpatients but do not have designated rehabilitation beds/units.
A doctor's referral is required and patients must meet the admission guidelines for each program.
Patients who have greater rehabilitation needs (stroke, head injury or those with other complex issues after an injury, illness or surgery) may be considered for a specialized Inpatient Rehabilitation Program.
