How care works at PYONG Rehabilitation

1. Assessing cognitive and physical ability

Rehabilitation physicians, occupational therapists and physiotherapists assess memory, perception and communication together with physical capacity tests such as balance and muscle testing

2. Planning rehabilitation for the individual

Working with the patient and the family, goals are set for brain training and rehabilitation activity, drawing in the multidisciplinary team — dietitians, psychiatrists or other therapists — as needed

3. Intensive therapy and brain training

Cognitive training applications, practice in activities of daily living (ADL) such as bathing, dressing and light cooking, and occupational therapy to bring back the skills of everyday life, with progress reviewed every week

4. Managing mood and behaviour

Psychological counselling, treatment with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and medication adjusted by specialist physicians, to steady mood and reduce stress

5. Educating and supporting the family

Progress is shared, and carers are taught how to communicate and how to arrange a suitable daily routine, so that care continues effectively at home
