Services are provided in a separate, dedicated unit to limit distractions and give patients every opportunity to progress. Our full-time neuropsychologist is an integral part of the KRH Brain Injury Program. We provide a thorough evaluation of medical, physical, communication, social, and neuropsychological issues. We utilize a system of multisensory stimulation combined with intense medical and nursing management. Emphasis is placed on instructing family members in the stimulation protocols.
Patients wear street clothing and are out of bed and active to the maximum extent they are able.
Treatment focuses on helping patients achieve a level of functioning that will enable them to return home or to a less intense treatment setting. This aspect of our program addresses attention, concentration, memory, organization, visual and perceptual motor skills, and logical reasoning that involves problem solving and decision making skills. Our approach focuses on modifying the treatment environment in response to a patient's inappropriate and socially unacceptable behavior from initial recovery period through community re-entry. After discharge, it is likely that therapy will continue on an outpatient or day treatment basis. Ongoing appointments are made for re-evaluating therapy or medical treatment.
