The South Grampians/Glenelg Sub-Acute Care Rehabilitation Program is designed to meet the community needs by delivering accessible, flexible and sustainable, high quality, sub-acute rehabilitation services across the continuum of care.
The aim of the program is to provide a model of care for the delivery of sub-acute rehabilitation services to clients in the sub-region following a catastrophic event or identified rehabilitation need that is:
- accessible
- time limited
- flexible
- goal orientated
- multidisciplinary
The sub regional rehabilitation program is committed to providing the best possible outcomes for all patients admitted to the program. The program aims to achieve the maximum level of re-integration into the community by:
- timely admission as agreed by the consultant physician
- effective assessment of needs
- structured care planning and implementation
- discharge from the program being a smooth, seamless transition with an appropriate service plan in place.
- increase your independence and enable you to do more
- give you a greater understanding of the physical and emotional changes associated with your health problems
- assist you to further develop your skills in managing these changes
- provide support for you and your family in managing your condition
We conduct standard assessments which 
give us information on your general health, to allow us to see how we can assist you to maintain and regain your daily living skills.
Following this assessment, we will be able to determine if the program is the best option for you. If for any reason it is not your best choice, we will discuss alternatives for you.
In patients are subject to a two week assessment period, to promote the most effective service to clients in the sub-region.
Clients in the program will:
- participate in a daily therapy program
- get dressed (comfortable, loose fitting day clothes and safe footwear) and spend most of the time during the day out of bed
- be looked after by a team of health professionals including doctors, nurses and therapists
- have their progress discussed at regular meetings held by the team
We encourage family members and carers to be involved in the rehabilitation process. To aid progress the rehabilitation team conducts family meetings to discuss team goals and future planning.
Education is provided if required to assist in ongoing care and safety of the client and their carers.
Close links have been established with inpatient rehabilitation teams and local and sub-regional services. This ensures a smooth and continuous service.
Our multi-disciplinary team brings their broad range of skills to the program, enabling all areas of your rehabilitation to be effectively addressed.
