"RITH in Mandurah, W.A."

About: SMHS Rehabilitation In The Home (RITH)

(as the patient),

18 months ago I broke my femur and was given RITH.  The Physio came to my home the day after my discharge to my home. The OT visited the next day.  Both were nice people.  The physio came around 4 times, the OT only a couple of times as we had all the equipment we required. They were both helpful.

14 months after that, before my bone had fully joined together, the metal inserted the first time, failed with  metal fatigue..  So, after another operation to replace that I was discharged back home again. 

This time again the physio arrived the next day and the OT a day or so after.  The OT again was not needed as again we had all the equipment.  The physio, Catherine, was extremely wonderful.  She gave me good exercises and explained the reason for each.  Catherine was also very helpful with answering all my questions and even made suggestions for questions to put to the medical staff at the hospital. I can't speak more highly of Catherine.  Certainly the right, caring  person for her job.  Well done Catherine.

Dear hap24,

Thank you for taking the time to provide your positive feedback about the RITH service and in particular your praise for Catherine the RITH physio and the service you received from her.

We are glad that on both times you have been provided with the RITH service that you have found us to be consistently helpful in aiding your recovery. We have passed on your lovely feedback to Catherine and the Rockingham/Mandurah RITH team. The staff really appreciate receiving positive feedback so thanks again.

Kind regards

Kate Gatti
