Discharge

It is typical that most discharges occur shortly after a successful overnight pass or after the final family conference.

The patient will receive a discharge packet with medication and care instructions as well as follow up appointments. Arrangements for public health nurses and home-based therapy can be made as approved by insurance providers.

Patients often continue to need therapy after being discharged from inpatient rehabilitation. Knapp Rehabilitation Center offers three treatment program options for patients to consider. They are:

•  Day Hospital  

•  Multi-Outpatient Service

•  Single-Outpatient Service  

Most patients require some outpatient therapy after discharge either at home or other facilities closer to home. Therapies may include:

•  Physical Therapy

•  Occupational Therapy

•  Speech-Language Pathology

If a patient does not live close to HCMC, a staff member will help locate an appropriate rehabilitation program in his or her home community.
