Programs & Services


Stroke and Brain Injury Early Supported Discharge and Stroke Community Rehab Program

In-home, intensive therapy (1 1/2 - 3 hours daily) offered to mild-moderate stroke and brain injury survivors to assist them in their recovery immediately after their event, hospitalization and/or when at risk of requiring increased care needs (early supported discharge). Community rehabilitation is reserved strictly for stroke survivors who cannot tolerate intensive rehabilitation (1 1/2 - 3 hours daily).

In both programs, clients actively participate in setting goals for their therapy, which may continue up to 8 weeks. Stroke specialists also provide support with overcoming barriers, reintegration within the community and transfer of care to outpatient rehabilitation and/or community services for continued support.
