Once a referral is received
Each referral is reviewed by the rehabilitation team to determine if the program can help your specific needs so you can achieve your personal rehabilitation goals. The outcome of this review will be communicated directly to the physician or health care team member who submitted the referral.
If you are on the waiting list, you will be contacted as soon as a bed is available, and an admission date will be set. Specific instructions for preparation for your inpatient stay will be given at this time.
