Patients on this unit have defined rehabilitation goals and are cognitively and physically able to participate in a time-limited, coordinated inter-professional rehabilitation plan of care ranging from low to high intensity through a combined and coordinated use of medical, nursing and allied health skills. Patients may be medically complex with long-term illnesses/disabilities. On admission, patients may have limited physical and/or cognitive capacity due to medical complexity but are believed to have restorative potential.
