We help them set and reach physical, mental and emotional goals to enable the patient to return to the community at their highest level of physical, social and emotional well-being. Depending on which side of the brain the stroke occurs, a person will experience functional limitations that may include the inability to understand what is happening around them and what is said to them. They may not recognize common objects or know what to do with them. They can also experience difficulty in walking, balancing, speaking, swallowing and coordinating their movements. Patient care is based on individual abilities and response to treatment.
Treatment is goal directed, cost effective and outcome oriented.
The Stroke Program staff actively involve the patient and family in goal setting and encourage the family to participate in all phases of treatment. The Program recognizes the right of the patient and family to consumer satisfaction. Faculty and staff adhere to the highest ethical standards at all times.
