Abstract

Persons with cancer of the brain and spinal cord receive rehabilitative care in a variety of settings. These often include hospitals, postacute care facilities such as acute inpatient rehabilitation facilities, long-term healthcare facilities, hospice, outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and the person’s home. A truly integrated continuum of cancer care delivers both cancer and rehabilitative services using a treatment plan that provides the right care, at the right place, at the right time by personnel who are well versed in the principles of oncologic rehabilitation. This chapter explores the advantages and challenges to providing rehabilitative care in each of these settings.
