Discharge

Your rehabilitation team will work with you and your family to estimate how long you would benefit from staying in the program. Training will be provided for you and your family members so you will be able to function safely in the home and community. Your team members will coordinate times for training and practice. The case manager will help arrange for the care you need after leaving, such as home health care, outpatient therapy, doctor's appointments, etc.

Discharge Equipment

Before your discharge, equipment may be recommended for you to use when you go home. This may include a wheelchair, walker, bath bench, grab bars, or long handled bath sponge. Your therapists will help you decide what you will need. Some items may not be paid for by your insurance. If they are not, your case manager and therapists will talk with you about your options.

It is best not to buy equipment or start remodeling until you and your caregivers have talked with your therapists.
