Description

Mission:
The mission of the Rehabilitation Medicine Department at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center is to enhance the quality of life of the patients, patients and clients of HSL by helping them to achieve and maintain their highest level of functioning while minimizing pain and physical suffering. In order to achieve this aim, the department strives to work as an integral part of the health care team in order to maximize the delivery of our services and to ensure their ongoing carryover on the nursing units and throughout the Center. We also seek to provide effective training to patients, staff, families, students and volunteers in order to promote the utilization of rehabilitative concepts and methods and to assist others in their delivery of high quality care.

About Hebrew Rehabilitation Center:
Hebrew Rehabilitation Center is located in Boston's Roslindale neighborhood and is Hebrew SeniorLife's flagship health care facility and home to HSL's corporate offices, the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research, Adult Day Health Program and Outpatient Rehabilitative Services. HRC Roslindale provides long-term care, including memory care, short-term post-acute care on the Rehabilitative Services Unit (RSU), and long-term post-acute care on the Medical Acute Care Unit (MACU).

These internships are available and coordinated through the college or university where the student is enrolled. The student should be in good standing in their program and show interest and enthusiasm for working with older adults. A meeting will be arranged with the head of the particular discipline to help the prospective intern determine if the placement is a good match.

Students must meet all of HSL's external learner onboarding requirements to be offered a rotation.
