The focus of acute rehabilitation is on cognitive and behavioral improvement, increased self-awareness, functional communication, mobility, psychosocial skills, activities of daily living, productive activity, and preparation for home and community. Craig treats approximately 150 newly injured persons annually in this program, and 25 persons at any given time. The Neurocare program is for patients who are not yet neurologically ready for the full acute program. The Neurocare program offers specialized medical and nursing care, case management, and interdisciplinary treatment at a limited intensity appropriate for the patient's level of functioning. Many patients progress from the Neurocare program to the full acute program within one to three months.
Treatment is individualized, interdisciplinary, managed, and goal-directed.
The Brain Injury Follow-up program has developed groups, activities, and support, and helps patients and their families access services and solve problems over the long term. Back to Treatment Programs Go to Referral and Admission section.
