Rehabilitation services

What happens during rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation is a specialised short-term service at Connie Lewcock Resource Centre in Lemington. It is a 24 hour support  service where you can stay for up to 6 weeks.  Their specialised team support you to:

• become more independent
• improve your mobility
• help you to make choices
• look after yourself

The rehabilitation service includes:

• assessment
• treatment
• preparing for your discharge from hospital
• help to prevent you being admitted to hospital

Your care plan

 
You will take part in an assessment of your needs and preferences. Staff will create an individual, tailored care plan that records your aims and priorities. You will be asked to sign that you agree to the care and treatment being given.
 

Your health

 
Bring your prescribed medication with you. Medication must have been dispensed by a pharmacist and have pharmacy labels with your name on. You may self-administer, where appropriate. You will need to make your own arrangements to get to GP or hospital appointments, but we may temporarily register you with Holmeside Medical Group at Chapel House.
