BENEFITS OF OUR CARE

Personalised treatment plans

Expert-designed physical rehabilitation plans for better recovery.

Monitoring & communication

Regular communication with patients, families and specialists.

Independence-focused environment

Helping patients regain maximum independence.

Patient progress & transition

Real-life practice before discharge for a smoother return home.

Patients recovering from surgery, injury, stroke, neurological conditions, or chronic illness may benefit from our programs.
A follow-up appointment may be necessary. During a follow-up, we will assess the changes that you have made and your progress toward your goals and discuss any further changes that you may need.

The length varies based on the condition and recovery goals of each patient.

We accept most medical schemes, and our team assist with admission authorisation.

Family involvement enhances the recovery process of patients. Participation in therapy sessions, however, depends on the patient’s condition and therapy plan.

Patients may be referred by doctors, specialists, or other healthcare providers. Following referral, an initial assessment is conducted to determine the appropriate level of rehabilitation care. Our administrative team assists with pre-authorisation to ensure a smooth admission process. A personalised rehabilitation plan is then developed, tailored to each patient’s medical history and recovery goals. Upon admission, patients begin therapy under the guidance of our expert inter-disciplinary healthcare team. Progress is monitored through regular evaluations to ensure patients are moving steadily toward their rehabilitation goals. Before discharge, a comprehensive continued care plan is provided to support long-term recovery and promote independence.
