Residential Physical Rehabilitation Care
Rehabilitation is often the most important part of recovery following an accident, injury or illness, whether you need a safe, controlled and supportive environment with help to reduce pain during your recovery or require respectful assistance adapting to a diagnosis that has caused limited mobility.
Forest Healthcare offers varied residential physical rehabilitation care services throughout our superb quality residential care centres, including nursing care assistance should you need ongoing help with medications, or following the treatment plan your healthcare professional has prescribed.
Our Professional, Personalised Physical Rehabilitation Care Services
Every person is different, and the right approach to your rehab will depend entirely on your medical background, based on your disability, illness, movement capacity, pain, the surgery you have undergone or the types of rehabilitation exercises and medicines you need.
Across our network, our qualified and highly experienced care team members and nursing carers have access to cutting-edge facilities and equipment to provide gentle assistance to help you restore function and balance, access speech and language therapists following a stroke, or receive ongoing physical rehabilitation.
The primary aim of physical rehabilitation care is to ensure you optimise your quality of life and have the space and time to heal and focus on recovery in a comfortable, friendly setting, with a skilled rehab team on hand at any time to offer the emotional and practical help you need.
We offer both general rehabilitation and more specialist care for people with an initial diagnosis of a progressive healthcare condition, including those linked to spinal cord injury, neurological conditions, impairments of the musculoskeletal system, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.

The Benefit of Tailored Physical Rehabilitation Care
Rehabilitation plans might look very different depending on the injury, condition or cause of physical impairments, making it essential to source the right types of physical therapy to restore function to the affected areas and movements – be that mobility, speech, eating, dexterity or balance.
An inpatient rehabilitation centre brings together clinical specialists and a multidisciplinary team of care professionals who work closely with healthcare organisations to establish the best rehabilitation approaches to protect your well-being and look to reduce recovery time where possible.
Physical rehabilitation should also be structured around your wishes, gradually and gently increasing the frequency and intensity of exercises to help you move your body more freely or regain movement and function without rushing your rehab past the pace you are comfortable with.
Our rehabilitation care services incorporate occupational therapists, physical therapists with experience supporting people with varied medical conditions or disabilities, and speech therapists, ensuring you receive all the help, care and companionship you need in one environment.
Specialist Physical Rehabilitation Support
If you or your loved one has suffered a serious injury, a medical incident such as stroke or treatment for heart disease or has sustained a brain injury that will take time to recover from, physical rehabilitation will play an important role in assisting with that recovery, using medicine, movement and emotional support.
We provide full care planning, ensuring we target our care and therapies to your needs. This can include short-term residential physical rehabilitation care, long-term accommodation in a private space, or flexible care, where we provide help and assistance during periods of time when neurological conditions or those affecting the nervous system make it difficult to live independently at home.
Occupational therapy is suited to people of all ages who benefit from all the resources and amenities a private care setting can offer, such as support from visiting therapists, ongoing help with movement and balance, or nursing care to manage pain throughout the recovery process.
In general, physical rehabilitation involves:
- Examination and assessment
- Clinical diagnosis and prognosis
- Short and long-term planning
- Physical therapy based on individual assessment
- Recommended plan for continued self-care and exercises
