Discharge Planning
Getting patients
home is our primary goal.
At St. Mary's, a patient's care does not end
at discharge. Our nurses, therapists, social workers and case
managers work with patients and their families to make sure their
return home goes smoothly. Our rehabilitation team educates family
members about any continuing therapy and home support a patient
will need, conducts home evaluations when indicated and arranges
for adaptive equipment needs.
To continue progressing outside of the
hospital, our team will coordinate appropriate ongoing
rehabilitation services. Many patients in the San Francisco Bay
Area continue to receive their therapy through our outpatient
rehabilitation program at the Ben Berman Outpatient Rehabilitation
Center.
