Discharge Planning

Prior to a resident’s discharge from our facility, our rehabilitative professionals make sure they’re ready for the challenges involved with returning home or to an alternate level of care. Discharge planning is a vital and often overlooked aspect of healthcare that plays a crucial role in the continuum of care. This structured and patient-centered process focuses on ensuring a smooth transition for individuals leaving hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or other healthcare facilities.
