Inpatient Rehabilitation Program

The patients who come to our program have difficulties in performing at least one of the following: moving around, taking care of themselves (self-care), engaging in activities of domestic life (doing housework, preparing meals) and participating in community activities. In addition, some of our patients have difficulty communicating (understanding and speaking).

Patient Satisfaction

Patients were asked to complete a satisfaction survey after their stay at Euromedica-Arogi. They were asked to rate ourservices from ‘Bad’ to ‘Very Good’ weighted in a scale of 1 to 5. The scores here are converted to a scale of 0 to 100.

Our patients rated their overall care at Euromedica-Arogi with 95,6%. Specifically, they were satisfied at a rate of 97% with medical, 96% with nursing and 95% withtherapy services.

Patients’ Functional Independence

Euromedica-Arogi Thessaloniki is the first rehabilitation centre in Greece certified to use the FIM™ (Functional Independence Measure) scale. The internationally recognised FIM™ scale assesses the functional independence of persons with impairments, disabilities and handicaps.

This particular scale is used to assess the progress of patients and the rehabilitation treatment results. It is applied to patients of all ages and diagnoses, and focuses on the care required depending on the degree of disability of each patient.

This scale features 18 categories which assess the assistance required for a disabled person in order to carry out the basic activities of daily living safely and effectively.

Each item is scored on a 7 point ordinal scale, ranging from a score of 1 to a score of 7. The higher the score, the more independent the patient is in performing the task associated with that item.

No Helper
7. Complete Independence: Patient completes 100% of the task without a helper and without an assistive device.
6. Modified Independence: Patient completes 100% of the task but uses an assistive device or aid, takes more than a reasonable amount of time (3x normal), or does so with a concern for safety (risk).

Helper
5. Supervision/Setup: The patient completes 100% of the task but requires a helper to provide cueing or coaxing without physical contact. The helper sets up needed items or applies orthoses or assistive/ adaptive devices.
4. Minimal Contact Assistance: The patient completes 75% or more of the tasks (requires touching assistance).
3. Moderate Assistance: The patient completes 50% to 74% of the tasks (requires more than touching assistance).
2. Maximal Assistance: The patient completes 25% to 49% of the tasks.
1. Total Assistance: The patient completes less than 25% of the tasks or requires the assistance of two or more helpers.

The total score for the FIM™ instrument (the sum of the motor and cognition subscale scores) will be a value between 18 and 126.

Total FIM™ Change is a measure of how much functional gain patients received during rehabilitation on average. It is measured just after admission to Euromedica-Arogi and again at discharge.
