At North Oaks Rehabilitation Hospital, we recognize the pivotal role families
play in the rehabilitation journey. Our family conferences are an integral
part of our patient-centered approach to care, designed to foster collaboration,
support and understanding between patients, their families and our healthcare team.
What to Expect in a Family Conference:
Collaborative Discussion: These conferences provide an opportunity for open dialogue where family
members can ask questions, share concerns and receive comprehensive updates
on the patient’s progress and care plan.
Personalized Approach: Understanding that each patient’s situation is unique, we tailor
these conferences to address specific needs, treatment goals and the overall
well-being of the patient.
Multidisciplinary Participation: The conferences bring together a multidisciplinary team of healthcare
professionals, including physicians, nurses, therapists and case managers,
ensuring a holistic view of the patient’s care and progress.
Education and Resources: We provide valuable education on the patient’s condition, rehabilitation
process and any necessary lifestyle adjustments. Families receive resources
and training to effectively support their loved one during and after their
stay at the hospital.
Planning and Goal Setting: Together with the family, we discuss and set realistic goals for the patient’s
recovery, discharge plans and any long-term care needs.
Emotional and Psychological Support: Recognizing the emotional impact of a patient's illness or injury, we
offer support and counseling services to families, helping them navigate
the challenges and changes that come with the rehabilitation process.
Scheduling a Family Conference:
Family conferences are scheduled regularly to ensure ongoing communication
and can be arranged upon request. We strive to accommodate the schedules
of family members, offering flexibility in timing and format, including
in-person meetings and virtual conferencing options.
Our Commitment:
At North Oaks Rehabilitation Hospital, we are committed to ensuring that
families are well-informed, involved and supported throughout the rehabilitation
process. Our family conferences are a testament to our belief in the power
of family involvement in achieving the best outcomes for our patients.
