Geriatric Rehabilitation
Our inpatient hospital and outpatient Geriatric Day Hospital programs help patients to optimize their functional abilities so they can continue to live their lives in the community and prevent further visits to acute care hospitals.
Over the year we see over 500 patients and more than 85% of our patients return to the community following completion of their program at Bruyère.
Our rehabilitation programs run with the support of a variety professionals including physicians, researchers, nurses, social workers, dieticians, physiotherapists, and speech pathologists.
