Phone, Puhelin: 02 266 2365We primarily treat elderly patients in need of demanding hospital rehabilitation. In-patient care is typically caused by a hip fracture or other post-fall injury. Other reasons for the treatment period may include, for instance, limb amputation or artificial joint infection.
The goal of rehabilitation is to achieve the best possible functional capacity and to rehabilitate the patient at home. Multi-professional co-operation is emphasised in the rehabilitation and treatment carried out in the ward. There is also close collaboration between the relatives, home care, and other rehabilitation units.
The patient's rehabilitation often continues even after being discharged, e.g. through the rehabilitation centre. If needed, a home visit is made from the ward before discharge. The goal is to prevent new fractures by assessing the risk of falling or fracture.
Patients usually come to the ward by hospital transfer from Tyks Orto and the surgery wards, or from Tyks Acute.
