Transdisciplinary Team Approach
This team works together to identify problem areas and specific functional interventions. The transdisciplinary approach provides a framework for patient treatment and a systematic plan for recovery. The patient and rehab staff collaborate on goal identification and timeline for completion. This collaboration leads to education, and functional outcomes.
The Treatment
The plan of treatment will be tailored to the specific needs of the participant. This could be 2-5 days per week and 4-6 hours per day. Accommodations will be provided for rest and relaxation as needed. Community reintegration activities are provided through a transdisciplinary approach to assist the participant to resume interactions with their community, work, leisure, friends and family.
The structured and supervised setting provides opportunity for patients/caregivers to identify problem areas in the home and practice solutions in a supportive and safe environment. Our goal is to assist the patient to regain optimal physical, communicative and functional abilities. Activities are provided throughout the day to complement the participants' nursing and therapy goals.
