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.
