What We Do

West Park's Geriatric Rehabilitation service is a transitional program that supports seniors by improving functional abilities and enhancing their health and wellness.

The inpatient program is geared towards seniors whose goal is to return home and who can transition there within 4-6 weeks. Seniors can expect:​​

  • To be seen by our interprofessional team and Geriatrician
  • To work collaboratively with the care team and their family to develop goals that will enable them to return home to independent living
  • To be provided with referrals to community supports and geriatric follow-up as needed upon completion of the program.

West Park’s Geriatric Rapid Rehab offers a bridge to help seniors successfully transition from the emergency department and back to their homes. This high-intensity program provides a short stay (up to 14 days) with a specialized Geriatric Medicine and Rehabilitation team focused on helping you recover and get back on your feet.

  • Have the ability to tolerate a minimum of 45 - 60 minutes of therapy 4-5 days per week
  • Have sufficient cognitive ability to learn and retain information and motivation to participate in therapy with identified rehab goals.
