Admission
Referrals to the Center for Acute Rehabilitative Medicine at Hanover Hospital may be made by a physician, insurance provider, family member, patient, or other concerned party. Call our 24 Hour Referral Hotline at 1.800.577.6812 to make a referral. We welcome your call.
Involving the Family
As with any lifestyle-altering event, attitudes and relationships with family members are affected. Shock, denial, guilt, anger, and depression are common. Serving as part of the rehabilitation team, our social workers help both the patient and the family to make necessary adjustments and learn to support one another.
Specialists also teach family members how to assist in the therapeutic process. Family will learn how to support the patient during their hospital stay, and how to continue making progress once he or she returns home to his or her community. Finally, this team finds appropriate resources to help continue the rehabilitative gains that have already been made.
