What will help my rehab journey?
Home Passes
As part of your rehabilitation, you may have the opportunity to spend a night or two at home. This can help ease your transition back to daily life, provided you have the necessary support available.
When the time is right, your care team will discuss this option with you and your support network. If you are approved for a home pass, please:
- Provide at least three business days' notice to arrange the pass.
- Check out with your nurse before leaving the hospital.
Essential Care Providers
Please appoint one caregiver as the contact person for any updates regarding the patient.
This will help the care team provide you with important information regarding stay, discharge and any other follow-up care in an efficient and timely manner.
Family Team Meetings
If needed, patients and families will meet with the care team to discuss the patient’s progress in rehab, in addition to discharge and next steps. Family Team Meetings are at the discretion of the care team and are based on patient care and discharge needs.
Your care team will let you know if they think a Family Team Meeting would be beneficial.
