Rehabilitation (intensive functional rehabilitation unit)

The program is intended to restore functional independence and to reduce the incidence of chronic disability through:

• Educational, prevention, health promotion and autonomy activities for the user and his family;
• An individualized intervention plan which respects the specific abilities, needs and expectations of each user and his caregivers;
• Searching for the optimal potential of each individual and for his active participation in his treatment plan;
• Assistance and support which enables the user, his family and his caregivers to adapt to his new condition;
• Guiding the user to his natural living environment or to a resource which is appropriate for his condition while ensuring an adequate follow-up;
• Social reinsertion in collaboration with the appropriate resources.

A rehabilitation program is also offered to amputees who have lost at least one of their lower limbs. The amputee is invited to participate in a psychological support group which promotes mutual exchanges and support among amputees.
