INDEPENDENCE OUTCOMES
We measure progress using industry-standard tools for self-care and mobility status upon admission and at discharge to determine the improvement achieved during a stay. Self-care measures, the person’ s ability to perform activities of daily living, include: eating, grooming, personal hygiene, bathing and dressing. Mobility measures are considered activities like: positioning, transferring from different surfaces, walking, building endurance and tackling community skills of different surfaces, curbs, stairs, car transfers and safe fall recovery. Higher scores at discharge show improvement and preparation to go home and return to your community.
