Department services

The department focuses on different aspects of geriatric medicine, with a special emphasis on rehabilitation for patients admitted after acute hospitalization from other departments within the hospital or outside of it. The department also includes a unique ortho-geriatric unit catering to elderly individuals with hip fractures. These patients are directly admitted from the emergency department and receive pre-operative and post-operative care along with rehabilitation treatment, subject to approval from their health fund.
 
The typical rehabilitation process varies from two weeks to three months, depending on the diagnosis, clinical and functional condition during hospitalization, and progress in the rehabilitation process. 
 
Our department also operates a consulting outpatient clinic.
