Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Program - How To Access

Admission criteria

• Impairments and disability that require in-patient rehabilitation admission

• Medical stability to allow participation in rehabilitation therapies
• Medical and cognitive/emotional ability to take part in rehabilitation therapies
• Motivation to actively participate in the program

Referral process

• All referrals received through our intake number are reviewed by our nurse clinician.
• Each patient referred to our program is assessed by our nurse clinician to determine the patient goals and eligibility for rehabilitation.
• The nurse clinician will consult with our attending physician following the intake assessment.
• If the nurse clinician and physician determine the patient is eligible for rehabilitation, the nurse clinician will work with the patient and their caregivers to arrange admission to the musculoskeletal unit.
