What to expect
Initially an assessment is completed to identify goals and aims of rehabilitation.
Following this, rehabilitation is planned according to client needs and is delivered face-to-face and/or by Telehealth (via Zoom or Telephone). Rehabilitation may include Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Therapy, Therapy Assistants, Physiotherapy and Clinical Psychology.
Between sessions, there will be self-directed therapy tasks to get the best outcomes from rehabilitation.
Plans and goals are reviewed regularly during the rehabilitation period.
If long-term needs and supports are identified, the appropriate referrals are made prior to discharge. A discharge letter is sent to the client and GP.
