Discharge and follow-up
Upon discharge, the user is given an exercise program and/or recommendations so that he can continue his rehabilitation at home.
Depending on his condition and degree of autonomy, the user can continue his therapy in an outpatient clinic in a center closer to his home, or, if he needs help at home, the steps are taken by the service social worker or the liaison nurse, as the case may be, so that he can obtain the care and services that meet his needs.
