Outpatient Neuro Rehabilitation
Our intensive outpatient neuro rehabilitation program bridges the gap between your initial recovery and your return to active functioning. It is intended for patients following hospital discharge.
Who Can Benefit From Outpatient Neuro Rehabilitation?
This program is designed for adolescents, adults, and the elderly with neurological impairments, who can benefit from therapy that will maximize their independence. The programs aim to improve the functional abilities of persons affected by:
- Brain injury
- Multiple trauma
- Muscular/neuromuscular disorders
- Neurological disorders
- Parkinson’s disease
- Spinal cord injury
- Stroke
How Long Does the Program Last?
First, our team will assess and design a care plan that addresses your unique needs. Then you will begin treatment one to two days a week for about eight to 10 weeks. To ensure your goals are being met, progress is measured at the start and end of the program, and at intervals in between. Once the program ends, most participants receive follow-up support via phone for three months.
