Inpatient rehabilitation is provided to people who are in the hospital. We try to restrict our inpatient services to those who need intense medical monitoring and who are too unsafe to be at home.
Inpatient rehabilitation provides the following services:
- Rehabilitation medicine specialist assessment and daily review
- Rehabilitation nurse
- Allied health including:
- Physiotherapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Pathology
- Dietetics
- Exercise Physiology

Services Offered

Inpatient programs are delivered by experienced multi-disciplinary teams who are well trained to manage sick patients (Medical/Nursing/Allied Health). Early initiation of rehabilitation programs helps to maximize your recovery by making the most of neuroplasticity. The golden period of neuroplasticity is most prominent during the initial 6 weeks after an acquired brain injury. So, make sure you come to us as early as possible.
You may also have access to:
- Orthotics (splints/braces)
