Often used as a “stepping stone” from acute care to the home or other discharge destination, The Med Center’s Recuperative Care Unit serves a unique role in providing continuing care to our patients. Therapy involves patient and family teaching to assist the patient in regaining as much independence as possible in executing activities of daily living. Representatives from various hospital departments meet each week to plan and discuss patient care and progress. Each patient on the unit has goals, which have been established after assessment and input from the patient, his family and staff members including the physician, nursing staff, dietitian, activities therapist, physical therapist, occupational therapist and speech therapist. |
