Patients who need more physiotherapy services prior to returning home may be referred to an inpatient rehabilitation program.

A referral is needed in order to be assessed for admission to the most appropriate rehabilitation program available in the Ottawa region.

The Ottawa Hospital offers some rehabilitation services at The Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre (TOHRC), located at 505 Smyth Road on the General campus. Patients may be referred to TOHRC depending on their specific needs.

The Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre (Tohrc)

Patients who require an intensive but longer rehabilitation stay may be referred to TOHRC. Our physiotherapy staff are members of an interdisciplinary team providing care to patients on one of four rehabilitation streams:

  • Locomotor
  • Neuromuscular
  • Neurocognitive
  • Outpatient Orthopedic Rehabilitation Service

Patients admitted for rehabilitation at TOHRC may have undergone amputation, have chronic lung disease, complex orthopedic injuries, burns, neurological disease/ injury (such as spinal cord injury, stroke, or multiple sclerosis) and acquired/traumatic brain injury. More information about TOHRC can be found at The Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre  

A referral is required to be assessed and to enter the various treatment programs.  Each patient awaiting inpatient admission undergoes an assessment by a rehabilitation clinician or physician (a physiatrist) to determine if the unit can help with their specific needs and attainment of rehabilitation goals.

Short-Term Therapy Unit

The Short-Term Therapy Unit (STTU) is an in-patient rehabilitation service that focuses on the assessment and treatment of patients who require intensive, short-term (three weeks or less) rehabilitation, either following surgery or an illness to improve their day-to-day independence.

Patients are referred to the Rehabilitation programs by the physician/medical team from the acute care unit. Each referred patient undergoes an assessment by a highly trained rehabilitation clinician from the discharge triage team, to determine if the STTU can help with their needs and attainment of rehabilitation goals.

The Short-Term Therapy Unit is located at The Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre.
