Rehabilitation
Our Elder Medical Care – Rehabilitation service is provided at the GBMC Sub-Acute Unit, managed by Gilchrist. Patients receive care in a separate rehabilitation suite with common spaces. Therefore, patients are more comfortable and can spend time with visiting friends and family. The Rehabilitation team is diverse and addresses all aspects of care. First, it includes nurses and therapists (speech, physical, occupational and activity). Moreover, it includes social workers, dietitians, pharmacists and support staff. In addition, the team is led by a medical and nursing director.
