Oakland Nursing and Rehabilitation
The Road to Recovery Starts Here!
The decision to go home is one of many steps you’ll take on the road to recovery.
The transition-to-home process started upon admission, so our Discharge Planner
has already been hard at work to match your needs with any available community resources
to help ensure your transition is smooth and worry-free.
Our Discharge Planner lines up the services you’ll need at home, among them being
Home Health Care services, hospital equipment, Meals on Wheels, adult day care,
and waiver application. Plus, our Discharge Planner will provide you with information
about a host of other community resources and programs you may wish to consider
once you’re back home.
We Make House Calls!
Prior to your discharge, you may take advantage of a free “house call” in which
one of our therapists accompanies you to your home for a brief assessment of the
layout of your living quarters. The therapist observes you move about in your home
environment and identifies any issues. For instance, a therapist may suggest you
replace a throw rug with a mat with a non-skid backing to prevent a slip and fall,
or the therapist may recommend having grab bars installed to assist you with your
bathing. The therapist’s evaluation and recommendations will make you feel comfortable
in your home and confident that your transition will be successful.
