Neurorehabilitation Programs

The effects of acquired brain injury can be complex, including challenges to medical stability, loss of independent functioning in activities of daily life, decreased mobility, and diminished cognitive capacities. However, effects that are the most disabling to the person with the brain injury and the most burdensome to family often involve changes to personality, loss of emotional regulation, and diminished behavioral control. With 25 years of experience as a certified neurobehavioral rehabilitation program, Lakeview has assembled a multidisciplinary treatment team composed of professionals with specialized training and practice to best support individuals with these challenging symptoms to progress with their individualized treatment and community re-entry goals. We are proud to serve our community as the only State Certified long term acute care hospital for our Neurorehabilitation programs areas.

Coma Recovery Program
Lakeview provides services to individuals with brain injury who are assessed to be in a state of coma or semi-coma. Lakeview provides 24-hour specialized physician supervision and 24-hour nursing care supervised by RNs. Lakeview integrates all therapies into its program to maximize the recovery of each patient. We use a person-centered approach and ensure that family members are centrally involved through education and training for achievement of functional outcomes, and discharge planning.

Neuro Rehabilitation Program
Neuro Rehabilitation begins with a comprehensive evaluation to capture each person’s specific pattern of cognitive, emotional, and physical strengths and limitations to best inform treatment strategies toward maximum independence. While the array of effects of neurological damage can be complex, the potential of this population to benefit from rehabilitation is enormous. Our goal at Lakeview is to get to know each person, and through a focused assessment, to tailor an individualized treatment plan to help the person maximize his or her independent functioning and reach his or her personal goals. The journey to recovery can be a long one. Lakeview also strives to educate and support families with the many decisions they are faced with along the way.

Neurobehavioral Program
Consistent with the mission of Lakeview Specialty Hospital & Rehab and the needs of persons served with acquired brain injury or related neurological disorder, the delivery of TBI rehabilitation services in safe, supervised and secured facilities is essential. We understand that the delivery of such services requires the concerted efforts of staff at all levels of the organization, as well as facility design to ensure a treatment environment which promotes sound clinical practices, optimal outcomes, and safety. Especially early in the recovery process, individuals with neurological damage benefit from environments that can be individually modified to meet their needs. For these individuals who are not yet ready to enter more standard rehabilitation therapies, a neuropsychologist will tailor an individualized treatment plan to guide consistent and effective interventions from care staff while rehabilitation starts with what can be done without failure and gradually progresses from those successes. For those individuals who are ready for at least four hours of rehabilitation per day, Lakeview offers both individual and group therapies to maximize gains with specific targeted areas of impairment, such as memory, attention, strength, dexterity, and balance, along with the opportunity to rehearse functional capacities, such as cooking, practicing skills of everyday living, and rehearsing social pragmatics. Lakeview recognizes the specific challenges faced by family members caring for a loved one with neurobehavioral symptoms and the toll that can take, and offers case management and neuropsychology services to educate, support, and provide guidance with both rehabilitation and planning for the next stages of recovery after Lakeview.
