‘NEUROSTAR’ (NEURO/STROKE REHABILITATION)

The Neuro/Stroke Rehabilitation Program at Highland Care Center has been designed specifically for individuals who are recovering from a stroke or other traumatic brain injury. Our goal is to help you recover as much functionality as possible and improve your physical and cognitive status so you can return home as quickly and safely as possible.

The first step is to design a ‘CUSTOMIZED’ treatment plan based on your needs and abilities which will teach you how to move correctly again. Prior to admission, the social workers, Interdisciplinary Team (therapists, and other nurses, related review health professionals) will the clinical information provided by your acute care facility in order to familiarize the team with the clinical care you received prior to transfer to Highland Care and the recommendations of the acute care physicians and therapists.

During your first few days at Highland Care Center, members of the Interdisciplinary Team, led by a board-certified physician, will assess your current level of functioning, discuss your current physical & cognitive status with you and your family (as permitted) and ask you to define YOUR GOALS (ambulate a designated distance, climb steps, drive a car). Based on this discussion, a plan of care will be developed, which will include a full range of neurolo gical recovery and brain injury rehabilitative services (based on your health history, medical needs, and outcome goals) so that the team can work closely with you in order to achieve those goals.
