Rehabilitation Case Management

Rehabilitation Case Management is an active process that involves the assessment of an individual and the development and implementation of a tailored rehabilitation program. This can include the co-ordination of all required treatments and services including housing, social, mobility, volunteer and work to facilitate optimal recovery and engagement in self-care, social, leisure and vocational activities.

Rehabilitation Case Management is an all-encompassing process that helps to bring the catastrophically injured client from their current state to a state of individualized maximum community integration.

Case Management may include: the creation of a community rehabilitation team following hospital discharge, the coordination of medical and specialist appointments, acting as a liaison between the client, the family, the medical community and the rehabilitation team, coordinating each step towards returning to school and/or independent living, exploring vocational placements and reintegration into the community.
