Upon arrival, each participant of our Passport
Rehabilitation program receives a customized journal
which they will keep with them throughout their stay
with us and beyond. This journal is designed to
provide an overview of our program and our facility,
as well as specific services and amenities which may
be found at the facility.
Detailed information may be found in this journal,
specific to your diagnosis, the type of care you
will receive and may include additional educational
materials on your diagnosis and other literature
which you may find helpful, as well as staff
listings and key facility contacts.
The journal is also designed to help you document
your “journey” to recovery, with designated areas
for daily activities and therapies you participated
in, questions for your health care providers and
notes to take home with you upon discharge. This
journal is an ideal way to monitor your personal
progress and keep with you on future visits to your
health care providers. |
