Profile
HFH is one of the largest referral centers for rehabilitation in British Columbia. The facility houses a 65-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit and extensive treatment areas that facilitate more than 15,000 outpatient visits annually. The program offers intensive therapy for older adults to overcome deficits caused by strokes, orthopedic trauma or major surgeries like hip, ankle or knee replacements and leg amputations. The program is designed to help clients restore reversible deficits or adapt to permanent deficits.
Clients also learn skills and attitudes that will help them manage with diminished capacity, such as Easy Street™— a simulated community that allows patients to practice essential life skills in a safe, challenging and realistic environment. Easy Street includes an Activities of Daily Living Suite, which is used for patients preparing to return home.
