Multidisciplinary home rehabilitation. A practical model

Clin Geriatr Med. 1991 Nov;7(4):695-706.

Abstract

The home is the most natural setting for rehabilitation. At home, the patient and family become active team members and the plan of care is created and carried out in the environment in which the patient will live. Home rehabilitation enhances the patient's autonomy, independence, and community reintegration.
