Community Rehabilitation

The Community Rehabilitation Team provides a multi-disciplinary community rehabilitation service that works in partnership with existing services and other agencies.

They assess and advise and provide multi-disciplinary rehabilitation for adults with complex physical disabilities.

The team aims to:

  • reduce the need for readmission to hospital after discharge
  • enable people to remain living independently at home for as long as possible
  • prevent hospital admission for probelms that could be managed in the community
  • enable people to reach their optimal functioning irrespective of their circumstances, environment or diagnosis
  • encourage clients to take an active role in managing their condition

The team is multidisciplinary and consists of dieticians, rehabilitation assistants,
occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists.
They work in partnership with clients and their carer(s) to address their agreed
rehabilitation goals and provide education and support to clients, carers and
primary health care workers
