Conditions of acceptance

Our medical device has a nationwide scope, throughout which we provide comprehensive rehabilitative care. The patient is recommended for entrance into the facility on the basis of a recommendation of an attending physician (rehabilitation physician, orthopaedist, neurologist, surgeon, rheumatologist or general practitioner). Written recommendations (requests) sent from inpatient or outpatient medical facilities must comply with our terms of admission to the Institute and may then be approved by the Rehabilitation Institute's head physician. The patient will be informed of the possible entrance date to the Institute by mail or telephone; for this reason we welcome a telephone number where we may contact the patient. A direct transfer from bed to bed is available upon request. Entrance and departure days are typically Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The standard length of a stay at the Institute is 3-4 weeks.
