Rehabilitation and Dementia
To facilitate successful rehabilitation within an acute setting it is essential that there is:
- Prompt referral to Physio/OT to enable timely discharge planning.
- A diagnosis of dementia is clearly stated on referral.
- A comprehensive history is gained on admission to include background history and information on a patient’s daily routine.
- Limit moves between and within acute wards and rehab facilities to prevent increased confusion which may be detrimental to rehabilitation goals.
Case Study
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
