Rossmore
We support your discharge to home by providing outstanding, compassionate care and rehabilitation in a safe, clean and purpose-built facility.
Here at Rossmore Community Rehabilitation Centre, we provide Discharge to Assess and Stroke Rehabilitation. This page is about the Discharge to Assess service.
Discharge to Assess is a short-term assessment of your needs, provided after you have spent a period of time in hospital for an illness or injury.
We will help you to safely manage everyday activities so that you can return home, to your previous place of care, or start a new care placement within 10 days.
At the start of your stay, we will do some assessments. These will help the therapist involved in your rehabilitation set some realistic goals for you.
We will also create a care plan for you so that other people involved in your care such as nurses and healthcare assistants know about what you can do and encourage you to perform activities for yourself wherever possible. During your stay, your goals and progress will be reviewed regularly.
The professionals involved in your care will help work out what is needed for you to be discharged safely. This could include equipment, adaptations and/or referrals for support from other services.
If you need a little longer than 10 days to manage some of these goals, we will discuss the possibility of moving you to one of our intermediate care units. This may give you a little more time to reach your full potential.
The whole team at Rossmore will be involved in your discharge planning. Our Discharge Coordinator will coordinate your discharge and communicate with all the people involved in your care to ensure a smooth transition to your destination.
