When you return home you might continue to have problems doing things for yourself, moving about, speaking, thinking or feeling.

Our service has been developed to assist you with relearning old, and developing new skills that maximise independence and quality of life, in your own environment.

Community Based Rehabilitation includes:
1.  A process of helping you to set goals to do the activities that are important to you, for instance to be able to go to church or to be able to walk the dog.
2.  An interdisciplinary client centered approach to assist you in meeting your goals.  You (and your family/whānau) are the most important member(s) of the team.  We will help you towards your goal.
3.  Development of an individualised, day to day rehabilitation programme to suit you and your needs which will assist you to work towards your goals.
4.  Liaison with other relevant services who help with stroke rehabilitation e.g. G.P., practice nurses, district nurses, cultural support agencies, Stroke Foundation and other rehabilitation providers.
