The Rehabilitation & Geriatrics Program is dedicated to providing access to a range of services needed by patients focusing on their individual requirements. It is the goal of the Rehabilitation & Geriatrics Team to maintain a seamless continuum of care and to implement a model for coordinated rehabilitation services within the City of Winnipeg, and in support of rural Manitoba and other RHAs.

The Geriatric Rehabilitation

Clinician contributes to the care of high-risk, frail adults aged 65 and older through the application of comprehensive, multidimensional assessment, advanced clinical reasoning, care planning, coordination and evaluation across hospital, rehabilitation, urgent care, emergency and community settings. Clinicians support timely and appropriate access to geriatric rehabilitation services by assessing functional status, medical complexity, cognitive and psychosocial factors, and environmental considerations. They provide recommendations and advocacy to optimize rehabilitation potential, safe transitions, and system flow.

In patient and acute care settings, the Clinician facilitates patient flow by identifying older adults appropriate for geriatric rehabilitation, supporting transfers from inpatient units, emergency/urgent care and contributing to discharge and transition planning. In community and consultative settings, the Clinician conducts in-home and outpatient Assessments, provides geriatric consultation to emergency/urgent care, and supports direct admission to inpatient rehabilitation when indicated. When functioning as part of the Geriatric Program Assessment team (GPAT), the Clinician works collaboratively with an interprofessional team to evaluate client strengths and needs, develop client-focused solutions, and provide recommendations to primary care providers and community services.
