Short-Term Rehabilitation

Trillium’s Short-Term Rehabilitation Program provides on-site rehabilitation for patients who are recovering from:

  • surgical repair for fractures resulting from a fall
  • surgery for joint replacements
  • general surgery
  • spine surgery
  • respiratory or cardiac illnesses

Rebuilding Health

We work with our patients to rebuild their strength and endurance.  Where patients have an underlying condition, such as osteoporosis or cardiac illness, we provide education and treatment.

Our team:

  • provides ongoing patient/caregiver education
  • helps patients set goals for maximal independence
  • establishes plans of care so patients can maintain optimal wellness.
  • collaborates with other specialists
  • helps patients manage complex medical issues

The Bone and Joint Health Network

Trillium has joined with other acute care centres, rehabilitation hospitals and Community Care Access Centres to implement an improved model of care for patients undergoing repair for fractured hips.

Under the new model:

  • Expert medical specialists and rehabilitation professionals create a customized rehabilitation program to meet each patients needs.
  • Treatment focuses on improving function and mobility to help patients return to their community.
  • The patient and their family work with our team on an ongoing basis to review functional goals, care plans and discharge timelines.
  • Patients receive recommendations for lifestyle changes, based on home visits and consultations
  • Individual and group therapy are available

Osteoporosis Education Program

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become thin, brittle and easily broken. Individuals who sustain fragility fractures – typically of the wrist, shoulder, hip or spine – from low energy forces (eg. a fall from standing height) have a high probability of osteoporosis.

The goal of the Osteoporosis Education Program is to prevent further low-impact fragility fractures in our patients. It helps patients receive follow-up investigation of their fractures with Bone Mineral Density tests, care and further education in the community.

]Trillium's Fracture Clinic identifies fragility fracture patients as "High Risk Osteoporosis Patients". Trillium sends a letter to the patient’s family physician suggesting further investigation of their patients' fragility fractures. Patients receive a copy of the letter and an Osteoporosis Education package.  Patients are advised to follow up with their family physician.
