Allied Services is noted for its depth of experience and breadth of rehabilitation services for individuals who have had a stroke or suffer from neuro-degenerative disease.
Neurological injury may disrupt various functions including sensation, movement and intellectual processes. Our program addresses each individual’s physical, cognitive, behavioral and socialization needs as well as identification and management of risk factors to help prevent future strokes. It is structured around the severity of injury, the location and type of injury, and the unique needs of every patient. We offer a seamless transition from intensive inpatient rehabilitation to outpatient services to in-home care. We also offer options for transitional and long-term residential care. All are supportive environments where individuals recovering from stroke or other neurological disorders can maximize their rehabilitation potential.
