Our Ohana Program caters to those with family or caregivers staying with them during their time at REHAB. Participating caregivers typically live off-island and stay with patients until they're discharged. Education and training are initiated with the caregiver during the first few days at REHAB. Caregivers must be cleared by therapists for functional mobility and self-care tasks, such as going to the bathroom, walking and getting in and out of bed. The program allows for early caregiver involvement and eases the transition from the hospital to patients’ homes.
