Inpatient Rehabilitation and Aged Care

Angliss Community Rehabilitation provides the ideal environment for recovery from an accident, injury, or medical condition. Individual therapy is provided in the home and in group programs on-site at both the Ferntree Gully and Croydon sites.

Services are provided to clients in the Community who meet Community Rehabilitation Centre criteria, i.e. all ages with a range of diagnoses. Clients must have rehabilitation goals either due to an acute event or exacerbation of chronic conditions.

The treating team consists of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Dietetics, Social Work and Rehabilitation Medicine.

We receive referrals from:

• Acute or Rehabilitation Hospitals
• Rehabilitation Services
• GPs
• Community Allied Health Services
• Clients/carers

Referral Form

Clients are contacted by phone upon receipt of referral to discuss the program and determine eligibility for our service.

There is a small charge for individual and group therapies. These will be discussed with the client on admission to the program. In cases of financial hardship, special arrangements regarding fees can be negotiated.

Rehabilitation goals are set with the client, their carers, and General Practitioner. Their program is then undertaken in the home, with Allied Health Professionals visiting as often as required. The client is also able to participate in relevant groups at either Upper Ferntree Gully or Croydon.

Staff Meet regularly to monitor client progress and goals.

Once all goals are achieved, the Home for Rehabilitation team discharge the client, referring them to other community agencies for ongoing care.

The Program is closely linked with the Angliss Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit and the Intensive Home for Rehabilitation Program.

Teams are based at Ferntree Gully and Croydon - covering the City of Knox, Maroondah and parts of Yarra Ranges.
