As you prepare for the next step in your recovery, we want you to know what to expect during inpatient rehabilitation every step of the way. This video addresses what to expect at the time of discharge.
Discharge planning starts at the beginning of your stay. Your care team will provide you with regular updates on your progress, as well as a targeted discharge date. As this date approaches, your care team will prepare a discharge plan, which could include home exercise and diet recommendations, medication instructions, home equipment and setting up doctor appointments.
As your discharge approaches, we encourage your family to join you. Our care team can work with all of you to make sure you feel safe and confident as you leave our hospital.
Your therapists and nurses will help with instructions and obtaining any special medical equipment you might need. Your case manager can connect you with community resources in your area, such as support groups.
There is no rush on the day of your discharge. Enjoy your breakfast. You may have a therapy session, and we will be there to help you pack and ensure you have all the information you need. You will leave with your WITH Notebook, which will contain the details of your stay, as well as your discharge instructions.
Now that you are on your way home, remember to schedule an appointment with your primary care physician. A few days after your discharge, we will give you a call to see how your discharge went. We’ll also send you a survey to share feedback on your experience. Thank you for choosing Encompass Health.
