The Villa Medica Nursing team includes more than 145 professionals who dedicate their know-how and expertise to our patients’ well-being. The purpose of functional rehabilitation nurses is to assist patients with physical disabilities in achieving and maintaining an optimal functioning level. They also help patients and their loved ones adapt to the new situation by providing therapeutic care that helps the patient become as independent as possible in managing their health, activities of daily living and household tasks.
Based on best practices, the Nursing team develops and implements strategies for care and treatment that guide patients and their family toward health while respecting their cultural values.
