"Schwerrehabilitation" (Rehabilitation Unit for Severely Disabled Patients):

Patients admitted to this unit no longer require intensive medical monitoring and therapy. However, they are essentially dependent on the assistance of others in carrying out everyday activities. The patient should possess a level of consciousness that enables him/her to cooperate in the therapies to a certain extent. This unit also is appropriate for treating severely handicapped children or adolescents whose illness or injury is not recent or who suffer from a congenital disorder, if the relief of the illness consequences and an improvement in functioning in everyday life activities can be expected. If desired, a patient's parent, primary care provider or another accompanying person may reside with the patient in a residential unit ("rooming-in" accommodations). Costs must be individually arranged.
