RITH Rockingham

About: SMHS Rehabilitation In The Home (RITH)

(as a parent/guardian),

My severely disabled daughter had a long stay in FSH ICU.  Once better we discharged very quickly due to her compromised immunity, and a lot of flu and Covid on the medical ward

She was very deconditioned.  Unable to eat, walk, not sleeping at night.

We had no equipment at home to cater for our immobile young adult.We were accepted by the RITH program and were visited by physio, ot and speech pathologist within a day of discharge.

Equipment was arranged, guidance and support was fantastic 

The ongoing visits by the therapists particularly Roisin physio was extremely helpful.

The support continued for apx 3 month and Roisin's expertise and referrals were so so helpful.

She took an interest and worked so hard to try and help us get to a manageable level with mobility and pain management.

She communicated with our community supports to ensure ongoing and seamless therapy 

The entire service is to be commended for the assistance given to us .

We are very grateful.

Dear giraffejc47,

Thank you for sharing your positive feedback about the RITH service. We are really pleased that you found the service, and particularly Roisin, assisting you and your daughter in settling back home following a hospital stay.

It’s good to hear that your daughter’s rehabilitation was facilitated by RITH and that they linked in with your ongoing community supports. We have shared your feedback with the Rockingham RITH team.

All the best with the ongoing recovery.

Kind Regards

Hannah Whiting

A/ Executive Director
