Hillandale Hospital provides physical rehabilitation and sub-acute in-patient and out-patient care for people challenged with a wide range of disabilities caused by disease or injuries. Patients undergo a combination of specially designed therapy sessions to suit their specific needs.  They receive intensive therapy daily and, depending on their medical condition, this will include home and life management skills training.  At Nurture Hillandale, the patient’s family is as important as the patient. Throughout the patient’s hospital stay, we conduct progress meetings with family members to educate them in proper care practice, to ensure a consistently high standard of care, even after discharge.   

Training will be provided with carers or patients’ family members prior to discharge, to assist a patient to continue with daily activities at home.  In appropriate cases, work assessments will form part of discharge planning to determine whether a patient will be able to return to work. Our social workers will also assist in planning in the case of the patient being unable to return to work.  A referral to out-patient services may occur because of a referral from your doctor, a concern of your own for yourself or a loved one, or as part of planned discharge process.
