Recovery looks different for every patient. Two people may have the same diagnosis. But their personalized rehabilitation plan may look quite different.
This has to do with the person’s health background, current condition, and recovery goals. That’s why each rehabilitation roadmap is customized to the individual’s requirements.
At Tice Valley Post Acute, our experienced care staff will work closely with everyone in our care to create a personalized rehabilitation plan. You or your loved one’s unique treatment strategy will include what therapies and medical care we recommend. We also include realistic milestones to reach expected recovery goals.
What Is a Personalized Rehabilitation Plan?
The purpose of a personalized rehabilitation plan is to create a comprehensive strategy for an individual patient. This will involve an interdisciplinary team and will be based on the patient’s current health, medical conditions, and recovery objectives.
Depending on your plan, we will help you:
- Regain physical strength and confidence
- Improve mobility and ability to handle everyday tasks
- Reduce pain and avoid medical complications
- Avoid hospital readmission
- Help our patients return safely to their homes
As you or your loved one progresses through their recovery journey, this plan may change due to evolving health and goals.
How We Develop Your Rehabilitation Plan
As soon as you are admitted, your care team will do a thorough evaluation so we can better understand your current situation.
This assessment will often include:
- Review of the patient’s recent medical history, medication, and any hospitalizations
- Evaluation of balance, strength, and mobility
- Determine how well a patient performs daily living activities
- Determine the patient’s ability to communicate and swallow
- Review cognitive functioning
Learning this information will help us create realistic goals for your progress.
Creating Recovery Goals
Each personalized rehabilitation plan will include goals that address the patient’s specific challenges and objectives. These goals are not set in stone. Instead, they will change as the person moves through the healing process.
Common examples of goals include:
- Moving safely up and down stairs
- Walking without assistance
- Dressing, grooming, and bathing independently
- Reducing the chance of falling
- Improve strength and endurance when doing different activities
Your rehabilitation plan will also include discharge planning. This will get you or your loved one ready for the next step – whether that’s returning home or staying in a facility like ours.
