At every stage of your stroke recovery, our rehabilitation professionals
will work with you to set and achieve your goals. During the early, acute
care phase, goals may be focused on self-care, activities of daily living,
and being able to return home.
At our outpatient rehab facilities, we will continue to support you in
these goals, and will develop treatment plans to help you achieve greater
independence. Goals may focus on higher-level functional tasks that can
help you be more independent in the home and community. These goals will
evolve as you patient makes progress.
Continue to See Progress with Stroke Recovery
Stroke rehabilitation is an essential part of recovery.
Successful stroke recovery depends on multiple factors including:
the part of the brain the stroke occurred in and the amount of damage it caused
the age, motivation, and general health of the stroke survivor
available family and social support
participation in high-quality neurorehabilitation therapies
For stroke survivors, the brain’s ability to rebuild means the opportunity
to see improvements, however big or small, with continued therapy. Research
shows therapy that is focused, intense and repetitious is beneficial in
helping the brain to rebuild following a stroke. Stroke recovery is a
lifelong process, and stroke rehab can help at any stage.
