Services

Specialized, Coordinated Nursing Team

The neurology unit is staffed by registered nurses (RN), licensed physician and occupational therapists, speech and language pathologist, and other caregivers who have the expertise required to manage the complex needs of our patients. From admissions to discharge, patient care is interactively coordinated by the registered nurse with the physician and other members of the multi-disciplinary team.

The neurological nursing staff is also specially trained to understand the unique clinical requirements of patients recovering from stroke, brain injury or spine surgery.
Stroke Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation and follow-up care helps restore functions that may have been lost as a result of stroke. The human brain is highly adaptable and patients can learn new ways of functioning to regain their independence. We provide stroke-specific physical, occupational, and speech therapy in an inpatient setting, as well as outpatient services for a continuous transition of services as recovery progresses.

Our specialized stroke rehabilitation service providers are dedicated to providing quality, compassionate care. All therapies educate and involve you and the caregiver in order to maximize the benefits of therapy. Rehabilitation services include: physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech/language therapy. Specialized neuro units staffed with highly trained health care professionals provide treatments, resources and continuous care to decrease the risk of stroke.

Rehabilitation is the centerpiece of the stroke recovery process. It helps those regain lost skills and learn to compensate for damage that can't be undone. The goal is to help restore as much independence as possible.
