Themes involving organizational processes Main theme Brief description Sub-theme Description Environmental aspects A rehabilitation ward should have single bedrooms, a shared room for activities, the possibility to go outside, and therapy options on the ward. Location of rehabilitation Rehabilitation should take place close to their own home, in a central location that is easy for people to visit, and also offers other activities so rehabilitants can go shopping.

Most participants would like to see therapy options on the ward. The therapy room must have sufficient space, good climate control, and must be easy to adjust based on their needs.
