Acute Rehabilitation Program
Meet the Team
During your stay at the center many people will participate in your care.
Each patient's rehabilitation is unique and based on your individual needs;
the following health care team members may be assigned to work with you:
- Case manager
- Rehabilitation nurse
- Physician
- Physical therapist
- Occupational therapist
- Speech language pathologist
- Therapeutic recreation specialist
- Neuropsychologist
Your case manager's role is to give you the information and
resources you need to prepare for your discharge from the center. Your case
manager will talk with you and your family about the goals your rehabilitation
team sets for you and will also collaborate with your treatment team to ensure
your successful return to home and the community.
Our physiatrists-doctors who specialize in rehabilitation-will
coordinate your medical rehabilitation care and will assist you and your family
in achieving your goals and improving your understanding of your medical
condition.
The rehabilitation team meets every week to review and revise your
treatment plan and to discuss your discharge dates and discharge needs. Your
case manager and/or your primary care nurse will discuss with you and your
family member the team recommendations that result from these meetings. The team
may arrange a family conference, which will be coordinated through your case
manager.
