Rehabilitation services

Sometimes, illness or injury may mean that a period of intensive care and support in a residential setting (usually between 1–6 weeks) is needed. This may occur following discharge from hospital or as an alternative to hospital admission.
After hospital care rehabilitation focuses on the needs of the individual, maximizing their independent living skills, and providing an on-going flexible but planned rehabilitative care approach is important. These services help older people to regain independence and confidence. On average, time-limited intermediate care is provided for up to 6 weeks, and it is targeted at those older people with complex health care needs that are changing for one reason or another.
Intermediate care can be described as services that do not need general hospital resources, but does substitute for some parts of hospital care.

Our intermediate care services provide:

• A therapeutic environment in which to recuperate and recover.
• An individually tailored care plan to encourage a swift return to full health.
• Specialist treatments to help regain strength and independence.
• Access to a full team of dedicated, caring health professionals.
