Short-term assessment and rehabilitation period for older people

You might need a round-the-clock short-term assessment and rehabilitation period when your functional capacity and health have deteriorated for reasons such as an illness or disability and you cannot cope at home. An acute crisis in your life may also complicate your living at home. You can come for an assessment and rehabilitation period for further rehabilitation with a doctor's referral directly from the hospital or from home if you have an acute crisis situation. The rehabilitation and treatment you need will be planned and assessed in multidisciplinary cooperation with you and your loved ones, supporting your coping at home. The aim of the assessment and rehabilitation period is to promote your health and recovery so that you can safely return to where you live. The aim is to maintain and improve your functional capacity in terms of mobility and the daily activities, for example. A short-term assessment and rehabilitation period is organised as institutional care. It includes the rehabilitation and medical care you need, meals, hygiene and medical supplies, clothing, linen, laundry and the medicines prescribed by your doctor. You need to bring only your necessary personal things with you to the assessment and rehabilitation period. The unit is not liable for the loss of clients' property. Your accommodation is in a pre-furnished room for one or more people. Washing and toilet facilities may be shared by multiple clients. Care staff are present around the clock.

During the evaluation and rehabilitation period, you can participate in joint activities aimed at clients. The institutional care includes transportation when this is a part of your care. You must arrange transport to the rehabilitation period and back home yourself. The service is subject to a fee.
