Evaluation and treatment recommendations are made to the patients’ care managers regarding patients’ mobility level, communication, swallow function and precautions, cognitive function, self-care status, safety, adaptive equipment and durable medical equipment recommendations, home exercise programs, and splinting/bracing fabrication or recommendations. Upon discharge, this rehab team provides recommendations for the appropriate level of care. Discharge recommendations made by therapists may include acute or subacute rehab, home health therapy or simply a home exercise program.
