Sub-acute hospital patient story

At the Intercare sub-acute and rehabilitation hospitals, orchestrated multi-disciplinary teams ensure good quality outcomes for patients. The multi-disciplinary teams consist of, amongst other, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, psychologists, and social workers. Whether it is after hip or knee replacement surgery or recovering from a stroke, an Intercare sub-acute hospital is the perfect place to regain your strength to be able to make the transition back to normal life, especially if the “new normal” is different.

Fostering recovery and restoring health

The four sub-acute rehabilitation hospitals feature 36 to 52 beds, ensuring personalised attention and an intimate healing environment. Here, patients work towards regaining their strength, mobility, and independence under our multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals, including general medical practitioners, case managers, physiatrists, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, dieticians and social workers. They all work together to create comprehensive, customised treatment plans.
