Rehabilitation Care
What is Rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation is a patient centered, goal-oriented and time-limited process. During rehabilitation, individuals with impairments work in partnership with an interprofessional care team to identify and reach their optimal functional level of mental, physical, cognitive and social health.
Rehabilitation programs are intended for patients who are at a stage in their recovery process where they are ready to build back their strength and independence.
Rehabilitation at Bruyère Health
Rehabilitation services at Bruyère Health cover a spectrum of inpatient and outpatient services in three areas: Geriatric rehabilitation, Stroke rehabilitation and Complex Medical Care.
The programs’ main goal is to improve the daily functional abilities of our patients through assessment and treatment of physical, cognitive, medical, and social challenges that have resulted in a decline of ability to manage everyday activities. Services are available in both official languages.
