Hamilton offers a separate Short Term Rehabilitation wing for patients who need additional support and recovery following a hospital stay. We begin planning for discharge on the day the patient arrives. The Rehabilitation professionals are members of the interdisciplinary team that work together with admissions, nursing, social work, dietary, recreation and all medical departments to improve the functional independence, safety and quality of life of our residents.
The goal of the Rehabilitation Department is to assist patients in achieving their maximum levels of function, self care and mobility through exercise, training and caregiver education.
