Rehabilitation hospitalized patients

The rehabilitation team specializes in providing comprehensive care and therapy to people recovering from (serious) illnesses, injuries or operations. Everyone staying in our hospital can therefore benefit from rehabilitation in addition to specific care.

What can we help you with?

After an operation, accident or illness, your body may no longer work as it should. An enthusiastic and skilled team will therefore work with you to minimize the negative impact as much as possible or start compensating through the right therapy and aids. Our main goal is to help you regain your functional abilities, improve your quality of life and promote independence.

Who works in our team?

The speech therapists provide therapy to adults with speech and language problems (aphasia, word finding problems, dysarthria), swallowing problems (dysphagia), voice problems, facial paralysis and cognitive rehabilitation. In addition to therapy, they also provide patient safety through swallow screenings in patients who have impaired swallowing function. Thus, together with the dieticians, they ensure safe and appropriate nutrition.

Our occupational therapists guide you in regaining your functionality. You will be guided with specific customized exercise therapy and, if necessary, together we will look for the right tool to achieve as much independence as possible.

Through exercise therapy and/or manual techniques, the physical therapist treats and guides you through various conditions that can be both acute or chronic. The different specializations among our physical therapists are: orthopedic rehabilitation with sports rehabilitation or manual therapy, internal rehabilitation (breathing techniques, heart, lung, metabolism), neurological rehabilitation, children and mental health. We always pair the most appropriate physical therapist with each patient.

Psyche and physic go hand in hand. Stress, fretting or poor sleep often result in physical complaints. For this we offer group sessions that center around certain themes. Sometimes an individual program may be started or the partner/family may be involved in the rehabilitation. This can all happen with our psychologists. They, together with the occupational therapist, also provide memory screenings.

Rehabilitation

Through multidisciplinary cooperation within our team and with the physicians of physical medicine and rehabilitation we can offer you the best possible customized therapy. Your rehabilitation is always done in close consultation with the treating physician(s) and is always tailored to your specific situation. For the geriatric and orthopedic department we have worked out a route, but this can also be deviated from if you have other needs.
