Rehabilitation After Hospital Discharge

Leaving hospital after a stroke can be a significant transition.

Although inpatient rehabilitation may have finished, many individuals continue to experience mobility difficulties, reduced strength, fatigue and challenges with everyday activities.

Stroke rehabilitation does not necessarily end when you leave hospital.

Our community-based rehabilitation services can help bridge the transition between hospital and home.

We support individuals following discharge from acute stroke units, inpatient rehabilitation services and other hospital programs.

Our physiotherapists and occupational therapists can assist with:

  • Continuing rehabilitation goals established in hospital

  • Improving walking and mobility around the home

  • Building strength and endurance

  • Reviewing mobility aids and equipment

  • Supporting safe transfers and everyday activities

  • Developing home exercise programs

  • Helping individuals gradually return to community activities

Where appropriate and with consent, we can collaborate with hospital teams, GPs and other healthcare professionals to support continuity of care.
