The program offers diagnosis in inpatient, outpatient, day treatment and transitional living settings. All settings focus on a return to community, work, home, family or school. The care team begins planning for the patient's treatment even before his or her arrival. Since no two brain injuries are alike, an individualized program is developed based on the person's specific needs. Various rehabilitation services are added to physical and occupational therapies because brain injuries often profoundly affect major systems of the body, including those that enable a person to speak, comprehend, reason and remember.
Academic therapy is available to assist patients with the relearning process.
Extensive neuropsychological and physical services help patients regain sensorimotor, speech and behavioral skills. All aspects of the program are therapeutic in nature. Eating breakfast or taking lunch break provides an opportunity to practice physical as well as psychosocial skills under the supervision of specially trained professionals. Gaylord remains committed to helping people adapt to disability created by brain injury - even after discharge as an inpatient. Outpatient rehabilitation maximizes independence and community reintegration skills.
