Revalidation - Hospitalization - Léopold I

The nursing team led by the head nurse is in this instance made up of:

• Physiotherapists working to restore your physical capabilities to maximum levels. To do this, you will be given appropriate exercises in your room, your department or at the local physiotherapist’s surgery.

• The occupational therapist also plans other activities as part of your care and rehabilitation.
• Speech therapists who, either as an individual or group activity, treat speech and swallowing disorders.
• Community nurses who assist you with your personal problems, in preparation for your return home and the reception from your family, admission into a nursing home and for any problems relating to social security benefits.
• A psychologist who assists you with mental issues and problems.
• Dieticians who recommend appropriate food, if this is medically indicated.
