  • Regaining ability to care for self with tasks such as : feeding, bathing and dressing
  • When indicated, utilizing specialized equipment and dealing with architectural barriers outside of the hospital environment
  • Training family members to provide assistance once a patient returns home.
  • Communication deficits
  • Swallowing, feeding and nutritional needs
  • Learning to deal with the disability beyond the rehab process
  • When indicated, dealing with swallowing adaptations and planning
  • 24-hour reinforcement by the skilled nursing team
