Patients who no longer need an overnight stay in hospital are transferred to Day Care where their rehabilitation continues. In principle, it remains unchanged however patients are able to stay at home overnight, helping them to apply their regained abilities and skills to their home environment. The move to Day Care also highlights the importance of being discharged from inpatient status on the rehabilitation journey.
Patients can also be admitted to Day Care without having being an inpatient immediately prior to Day Care admission.
