Adult Rehabilitation
The Adult Rehabilitation Unit specialises in providing multi-disciplinary rehabilitation programs for people of working age who have sustained stroke, orthopaedic injuries, amputation, neurological diseases, non-traumatic brain injury, burns and brain tumours.
It comprises an inpatient and outpatient program, which offers a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation service on an in-patient basis. Community rehabilitation programs are also available to those living in the Northern Sydney Area.
Home Based Rehabilitation Service (HBRS)
Home Based Rehabilitation Service (HBRS) provides a unique opportunity for clients to carry out their rehabilitation at their home. HBRS provides intensive short duration rehabilitation to clients who are residents of the Northern Sydney Area Health Service and who have suffered recent injury, illness or undergone surgery or have experienced an exacerbation of a chronic musculoskeletal or neurological condition.
Clients must be clinically appropriate and medically stable for the service, have functional, achievable rehabilitation goals, and be agreeable to receiving rehabilitation in their home. A minimum of two disciplines should be required and the client must have a GP who is familiar with their current medical needs.
The HBRS team consists of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, registered nurse (Manager), social worker and speech pathologist. Dietetics, neuropsychology and rehabilitation medical officer consultation is available, if required as part of the rehabilitation program. The type and frequency of the therapies will be determined by the clients needs and goals.
Referral for this service can be made by any member of the inpatient team or the clients doctor. Clients will be assessed by the HBRS Manager prior to discharge from hospital or commencement on the program. Enquiries and referrals can be directed to the Manager on (02) 98089687.
