Early rehabilitation is critical in recovering from a brain injury. To help you achieve your fullest potential after brain injury, HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Northern Virginia has developed a continuum of care from day treatment to inpatient and outpatient services.
Our brain injury rehabilitation program is designed for individuals who have suffered from:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Stroke
- Aneurysm
- Seizure
- Brain tumor
- Motor vehicle accident
- Fall
- Battlefield injury
- Other neurological deficits
The three phases in our brain injury rehabilitation include:
- Inpatient rehabilitation - an intensive physical, cognitive and psychosocial rehabilitation for a patient who needs 24-hour nursing care. It is geared toward a patient who wants to regain an independent lifestyle, behavioral management and community re-entry.
- Day treatment- an intensive interdisciplinary therapy program that can stand alone or be used as a step down from inpatient care. This phase is for patients who no longer need 24-hour nursing care.
- Outpatient rehabilitation- individualized, highly specific treatment designed to continue the patient’s progress toward maximum independence.
Our brain injury rehabilitation program objectives are:
- Customize rehabilitation programs based on patient and family needs
- Restore patient’s abilities to their maximum level of function
- Educate the patient and family on brain injury and the rehabilitative process
- Provide ongoing psychosocial support in a therapeutic environment
- Provide follow-up for patient
- Educate the patient and family about community resources
