The Center works in conjunction with the departments of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Psychology, Nursing and Physiatry as part of the total rehabilitation of the patient. The Center assesses the physical and cognitive capabilities of a client to identify viable vocational options. Employment goals and objectives are determined by the client's educational, psychological, vocational, medical and financial history, in combination with a program of testing, work samples and other cognitive and physical assessments. When applicable, the client's vocational environment is simulated by therapists in order to increase the strength and endurance needed for the client to return to work following an injury or illness. Helping patients learn to live independently is the primary goal of Bacharach's comprehensive rehabilitative programs.
Volunteers are an integral part of that rehabilitation goal.
They provide additional support and help restore a patients positive self image.
