How we support families
Patients and their families that need our services will have experienced significant trauma or changing diagnosis.
We know that for friends and family of someone undergoing rehabilitation it can be a challenging and emotional time. At Circle Rehabilitation, we recognise the importance of supporting not just the patient, but also their loved ones throughout the entire rehabilitation journey, from admission to discharge.
At Circle Rehabilitation we are here for you as well as the patient. You will be fully supported throughout the journey from the moment we meet you to when we waive you goodbye.
