YOUR REHAB PROGRAMME

What is Extended Care?

An extended care facility is a hospital specialising in caring for patients requiring continued monitoring in a medical environment or hospitalisation. In our Extended Rehab Care programme, we combine inpatient rehabilitation and skilled nursing care to provide round-the-clock medical support with healthcare and activities of daily living.

Getting Started

At ReGen Rehab, we cater to two levels of patient care: basic and dependent. Patients who are interested in the Extended Rehab Care programme receive an initial multi-disciplinary assessment by the Rehabilitation Physician to evaluate the level of care required. This includes evaluating the physical and cognitive health, medications and level of independence in ADL. During this session, the family will have the opportunity for a detailed discussion on what scope of services best suits the patient.

The rehabilitation element

Understanding the components of care and scope of services provided in an extended care programme is an important first step to determine its suitability for the patient. We maintain our core rehabilitation approach which emphasizes independence and aims to improve the patient’s quality of life through assistance in activities of daily living (ADL) and daily physiotherapy.

Care is provided by qualified health professionals, such as rehab nurses, therapists and rehab assistants under the purview of the Rehabilitation Physician. The multi-disciplinary care model remains at the core of our services in delivering integrated care according to the patient’s respective needs.
