REHABILITATION Rehabilitation Unit The Moncton Hospital's Rehabilitation Unit provides inpatient services with a goal of helping patients return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life – physically, emotionally and socially. The unit was started in 1973 and is located on the fourth floor of the hospital. Patients admitted to this unit include those who have suffered a stroke, traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury as well as orthopedic patients, amputee patients, patients with neurological disorders and burn patients. Admission to the Rehabilitation Unit is determined by a physiatrist (a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation). A family physician or surgeon admits the patient to rehabilitation once admission criteria has been established. The unit is staffed by a team that includes a physiatrist, family physician, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologist, social worker, dietitian, nurse manager, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, a ward clerk and physician administrative support. Team rounds are conducted weekly to establish patient goals, assess progress and plan for discharge. Mission The Neuroscience and Rehabilitation Program provides patient/family focused care to those with neurological and rehabilitative needs in order to achieve optimal quality of life for those we serve.
