We provide comprehensive inpatient and outpatient programs for patients who are experiencing a wide range of disabilities, including those following a stroke, joint replacement, lower limb amputation or fractures.
The overall goal of rehabilitation is to enable people to live as full and independent lifestyle as possible within their own environment. While each health professional contributes individually to a person’s rehabilitation through the application of special knowledge and skills, all the professionals function as a team.
Services provided at Braeside and Greenwich Hospitals include inpatient units, outpatient clinics and day hospitals. The patient care areas are spacious and well equipped. All areas are easily accessible. Greenwich is a specialised rehabilitation service for the aged and also offers a home-based rehabilitation service.
