Family Involvement in Brain Injury Recovery
A brain injury presents the patient’s family with many new challenges
and adjustments. The Brain Injury Program offers patient’s family
members and caregivers with opportunities to receive hands-on training
and education throughout the rehabilitation process.
We encourage families to become actively involved as members of the rehabilitation
team to learn the best ways to promote independence and transition back
to the community. Care management provides weekly updates to the family
on the patient’s progress and goals.
What Happens After Treatment?
Upon discharge, about 70% of our inpatient brain injury program patients
return to their homes. However, whether a patient is able to return home
depends upon the type and severity of each patient’s diagnosis and
other unique circumstances. At Allied Services, we will care for you from
hospital to home. You can continue your recovery with the support of our
Home Health and Outpatient Rehabilitation teams.
