Day Neuro: The Next Step in Your Rehabilitation Process

Helping our patients achieve their highest potential not only means helping them to return to independent function, but also to maintain or continue to improve their function once they leave the Inpatient setting.  The NeuroMedical Center Rehabilitation Hospital offers an Outpatient Day Neuro Program to provide the necessary assistance to help you or your loved one return to every day living.  Our Day Neuro program is for patients who no longer require round the clock supervision during their brain injury, spinal cord injury, or stroke rehab. Located on the 5th floor, our Outpatient Day Neuro Program offers current inpatient patients and new patients the advantage of a comprehensive continuum of care with a smoother transition from inpatient to outpatient.

The Outpatient Day Neuro Program Consists Of:

  • Physical Therapy
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Speech Therapy
  • Social Services & Counseling
  • 2-5 days/week, for 3-5 hours/day

Preparation for the Real World

After hospitalization following a neurologic episode, one of the most valuable steps a patient can take is to participate in our Day Neuro Program.  The process of returning to the world after a neurological injury includes many skills we all often take for granted.  From getting dressed to paying the waitress the right amount for a meal, The NeuroMedical Center’s Day Neuro program prepares its patients for what they will encounter in the real world.
