CENTRAL DUPAGE HOSPITAL THERAPY SERVICES

True success begins at the medical center, but ultimately is measured by how the person functions at home. CDH Rehabilitation Specialists collaborate closely with patients, family members and other caregivers to assure a continuity of care from the medical center to the home environment (or to an intermediate care facility, when appropriate).

An individualized home program is an important step in rehabilitation. Our therapists educate patients, family members and caregivers about home care and how to reinforce rehabilitation at home. We also incorporate the family/caregiver’s goals into our overall rehabilitation plan.
