Rehab at Home

It can be challenging returning home after a stay in hospital. Rehab at Home is here to help you through this time, with a range of rehabilitation and health care services designed to support you within the privacy, comfort and safety of your own home.

What is Rehab at Home?

Ramsay Home Health provides in-home rehabilitation, reconditioning and health care services for a wide range of medical conditions, including:

• Cardiac conditions

During your stay in hospital, your doctor or another member of your health care team can refer you to Rehab at Home via Ramsay Home Health.

A dedicated Ramsay Home Health clinical care coordinator will contact you to discuss your care needs and help you check if you're eligible for program funding. Your clinical care coordinator will also work with your hospital care team or doctor to develop your tailored rehabilitation program, drawing on the expertise of a range of allied health and care professionals.

Your Rehab at Home program may include:
