Types of Care Neurological Rehabilitation This doctor-supervised program is designed for patients with injury to the brain, spinal cord or nerves. People with neurological injuries or disease sometimes have difficulty moving freely, speaking, swallowing, breathing, or learning. Spinal Cord Injuries We offer comprehensive rehabilitation for patients with spinal cord injuries, either traumatic or non-traumatic, who need a specialized and coordinated process to increase their physical, emotional, and psychological ability. Brain Injuries Our therapists have specialized skills and training that help them recognize the unique needs of people with brain injuries and provide consistent and structured rehabilitation. We offer comprehensive care to address physical dysfunction, cognitive impairments, and behavioral issues associated with these patients. Stroke Rehabilitation Our multidisciplinary team provides specialty care to help individuals regain function from the physical and psychological effects following a stroke. Our goal is to help patients achieve the most complete recovery possible through prevention, recognition, assessment, and treatment of conditions related to stroke and its complications. Amputation A comprehensive, multidisciplinary team of professionals with specialty amputee training, experience, and credentials for management of medical and functional needs provides effective and evidence-based care for this population. We focus on restoring strength and confidence, regaining function and mobility, and returning individuals to an independent and satisfying life. Orthopedics Our program prepares patients recovering from fractures, dislocations or joint replacements to transition back to home and into the community. Accordingly, a number of objectives are established based on the patient's individual needs, including: gait training; stair climbing; transfer training; muscle strengthening and endurance; fall safety; dressing, bathing, toileting; and operating a vehicle. Wound Care When a wound from an accident, underlying disease, or infection isn't healing properly, appropriate care can save life and limb. Our wound care team consists of an independently practicing physician, dietician and nurses all dedicated to healing wounds.
