"Rehabilitation received in the community ."

About: Intermediate and Transitional Care / Community Rehabilitation Team

(as a relative),

My mum had a bad fall and spent 7 weeks in the RVH and Musgrave Hospital.

When she was discharged it was a completely different environment at home compared to the hospital setting.

The rehab team got involved and we met Catherine the OT first who helped so much with equipment and other issues. Then we met Paula the physio who arranged therapy at home this really helped my mum get her confidence back.

Catherine and Paula both helped so much to create a safe environment for my mum. We would just like to thank them both so much for all their help and support given over the last couple of months.

Can I also thank all the rehab staff who called to my mums home to complete the therapy, everyone was so kind and patient with my mum.

A brilliant team all round!

Dear Pham1466,

I am the manager of the Community Rehabilitation Service that saw your Mum on her return home from hospital.

It is lovely to hear that she (and you) had such a positive experience on her transition home after a period of time in hospital.

I am delighted to hear that Catherine, Paula and the team helped your Mum regain her confidence after her fall and provided support as she continued her recovery.

I will be sure to pass your kind words on to the whole team - they are greatly appreciated.

Please pass on my best wishes to your Mum.

Many thanks,

Lucy Jordan
