Who we are
The Community Rehabilitation Team is a multidisciplinary healthcare team comprising:

We are based within East Renfrewshire HSCP and have two teams which cover across Eastwood and Barrhead localities.

- At risk of emergency admission due to a decline in mobility and function
- Experiencing issues with mobility, falls, and activities of daily living
- Requiring advice and support to manage the effects of a long term/ progressive condition and require rehabilitation to maximise their independence
- Recently discharged from hospital with ongoing rehabilitation and reablement goals
- In need of equipment and/ or adaptations to their home environment to maximise function and safety
- Who are temporarily or longer term housebound, or who require an assessment of their home environment.
