Rehabilitation
Bayada Nurses offers
specialized rehabilitation nursing services called the Bayadability
Program. Bayadability is available for clients who have sustained disabilities
following catastrophic injury or chronic illness or who are recovering
from orthopedic procedures (such as hip or knee replacements), other
surgical procedures or deconditioning after a hospital stay.
When indicated, one of our Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses
(CRRNs) will meet the client and family in the hospital (prior to discharge)
to perform an assessment of the client's diagnosis and formulate treatment
goals. The CRRN will also visit a client's home to assess the adaptability
of the home environment, equipment needs, safety and accessibility.
By performing this assessment, we can help improve cost-effectiveness
by ensuring efficacy and preventing the purchase of inappropriate equipment.
Working closely with doctors, therapists, insurance companies and equipment
providers, our CRRNs perform client evaluations and provide input on
appropriate care and equipment. If necessary, the CRRN (or her designate)
will directly supervise a client's home rehabilitation program.
Another vital component of the Bayadability Program is teaching and
training the client, family and caregiver. Experience has shown that
client learning and competence improves significantly in the familiar
home setting. Our team also helps clients resolve psychosocial problems
related to the injury or disability-including issues related to sexuality,
interpersonal relationships and economics.
Through the rehabilitation process, the Bayadability Program teaches
clients to integrate new skills, home safety, adaptive equipment and
positive coping mechanisms into their home, community, work and family
lives.
