What to Expect at Your Visit
After you are referred to the Mobility Clinic by your primary care provider, you will be seen at one of three locations. In certain cases, the Mobility Clinic team may see you in your own home/living environment for assessment. Assessments at the Mobility Clinic are typically 1-1.5 hours long.
If you are booked to come to a Mobility Clinic, please bring the shoes you typically wear, any braces, canes, walkers, or wheelchairs, and your medications.
A physician, nurse, chiropractor, and occupational therapist will be present at each visit. Other health care professionals will be available as needed, including a social worker, pharmacist, or physiotherapist. At your visit, the Mobility Clinic team will provide a comprehensive assessment and will work with you to develop a care plan, which will be shared with your regular primary care practitioner.
The Mobility Clinic will follow up with you via telephone, return visit, and/or house call.
