The program provides rehabilitation services (under the guidance of a physiatrist), neurology consultation (as needed) and weekly interdisciplinary reviews.
A full interdisciplinary team approach starts with a “Nursing and Rehabilitation Assessment” that gives special consideration to: type of stroke and associated complications and risk factors, speech-language pathology and dysphagia assessment, pain management, weight/nutritional assessments and intervention, mood assessment, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) function.
Rehabilitation Services (physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology) include interventions for tone and spasticity control, strength and motor control, sensory retraining, coordination, visual/perceptual status assessment and intervention, postural retraining and positioning; cognitive speech and swallowing assessment and training.
