Rehab in the home

"Rehab in the home"

About: Rockingham General Hospital SMHS Rehabilitation In The Home (RITH)

(as the patient),

I was recently in Rockingham for a total hip replacement and was really well cared for—nothing but good words. Then, on my release, I had rehab at home. I had a physio come twice; she made me feel more confident with what I was doing, explained the correct ways to stand and sit, brought crutches, and reiterated everything the physio had told me. I felt confident being at home, and you just get a bit more reassured when someone comes to your home, sees what you're doing correctly and incorrectly, and helps you through it.
