Summary
B5 staff nurse in Elderly Care at a rehabilitation ward.
We here at Kingfisher ward are proud of what we do!
We are passionate about rehab. Our aim is to improve the overall well-being and functional abilities of older adults, helping them maintain their independence and enhance their quality of life as they age.
When an elderly person is discharged from hospital following surgery, an illness, injury, or serious medical event such as a stroke, it’s vital to ensure that they have the best follow up rehab services in place, to aid their recovery and to give them the best possible quality of life. In many cases, a stay in an inpatient rehab facility will give them the best chance of regaining their health, independence, and quality of life, in a safe and properly equipped environment, until they are able to be safely discharged.
