Once checked in, we introduce you to your healthcare team. Members of the team assess your needs and discuss healthcare goals with you and your family members. At this time, you also meet your case manager who will help coordinate your hospital care during your stay and begin preparing you for your transition home.

During your stay:

Preparing to Go Home

We start preparing for your discharge home from the day you’re admitted to ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Leesville.

Your case manager works collaboratively with you, your family members, and your healthcare team to create a discharge plan to best meet your needs, including:

• Holding ongoing conferences with you and your family members
• Reviewing your progress regularly to your goals

After Your Hospital Stay

Upon discharge, we remain a partner in your healthcare. We understand that your best opportunity for recovery is within a few months following your medical event. We want to help you find ways to capitalize on that time.

We help arrange further resources as needed, such as follow-up physician appointments, outpatient therapy, or home health. We supply you and your family with educational information on continued exercises, behavior modifications, home modifications, and assistive devices, if necessary.

We want to help your healing continue to progress so you can remain as independent as possible.
