Rehabilitation
What is rehabilitation?
Our rehabilitation center is designed to assist clients who have experienced significant life changes due to undergoing an illness, injury, or surgical procedure.
While the primary goal of rehabilitation is to restore independence, it also addresses physical limitations and adjustments expected to impact the individuals’ life in the future.

Follow Up
Once the documents are received, we will visit the potential client to determine if they are a candidate for rehabilitation. A report is made, which is sent to the rehabilitation doctor in Curaçao. If rehabilitation is approved and a bed is available, the client is contacted to plan the admission date.
