Rehabilitation
The focus of rehabilitation is to enable people to live as well as possible by working towards their personal goals. Rehabilitation is different for every person depending on individual injuries, illness and level of disability.
At LRC, our nursing, medical, and therapy staff work together to focus on what is important to the patients in our care. This allows us to address the physical, cognitive, and emotional needs of our patients, helping them achieve their best possible outcomes.
What to expect
We will talk about discharge plans early on! An estimated date will be set, reviewed regularly and adjusted depending on your progress.
Visiting and contact information
Visiting hours are between 1pm and 8pm. Please sign in via the book by the entrance and report to the nurse’s station on your arrival.

We aim to make the discharge process as smooth as possible by:
-
Involving you and your family / friends early – by asking for information about your home environment (photos and or measurements) of your furniture so that we can incorporate relevant practise in therapy sessions
-
Reviewing ongoing rehabilitation needs to support you to continue your rehabilitation and recovery after you leave hospital.
-
Establish your discharge destination and any equipment that may be required to support your ongoing recovery and needs.
-
Ensure referrals to local community services for continued support after hospital discharge, potentially including carers, therapy, nursing, or social support services to maintain progress and promote independence.

Signpost to relevant charities and support organisations that provide additional support, information or resources.
