A continuum of care for people with brain injuries
For more than 50 years, Casa Colina has been at the forefront of medical
care for people with traumatic and acquired brain injuries, offering one
of the most extensive brain injury medicine programs nationwide.
Our continuum of care spans the treatment and recovery process, including
acute hospital rehabilitation, short-term residential rehabilitation,
day treatment, home and community services, outpatient care, and long-term
residential facilities. Patients are admitted to the level of care most
appropriate to their condition, and all services are tailored to meet
their unique needs.
Overseen by a physiatrist certified in Brain Injury Medicine and supported by the
Casa Colina Research Institute, our experienced clinicians and
residents-in-training combine innovative methods with proven clinical pathways and advanced
technology to help brain injury survivors overcome the diverse challenges
they face.
The Optimal Choice for Inpatient Rehabilitation
For many, treatment begins in our hospital’s Joint Commission-accredited, 68-bed
Acute Rehabilitation Wing. Here, patients receive at least three hours of intensive therapy a minimum
of five days per week from experienced therapists, many of whom are certified
in neurological rehabilitation. Clinical teams meet weekly to discuss
patient progress and map out the next steps of each patient’s recovery.

Transitional Living to Prepare for Home
Our
Transitional Living Center (TLC) is a 46-bed, CARF-accredited, treatment facility located on our
Pomona campus. Residents benefit from up to six hours of individual and
group therapy, six days a week, all overseen by a doctor specializing
in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
At the TLC, our team of rehabilitation professionals includes board-certified
physiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, speech pathologists,
neuropsychologists, recreational therapists, nursing staff, case managers,
and other specialists as needed. TLC clients have access to a range of
services, including short-term residential rehabilitation, day treatment,
and home and community care.
Our clients participate in frequent outings that provide opportunities
to practice skills in real-world settings and facilitate their transition
back into the community. Our goal is to help clients better perform functional
tasks and gain the confidence to tackle challenges that they will later
face at home, in the community, or at work.
Outpatient Services
Patients who are able to return home but still require rehabilitation care
can take advantage of a wide range of
outpatient services, including:
Whatever their level of care, Casa Colina offers our neurological patients
a broad range of
assistive and rehabilitation technology to overcome physical and cognitive challenges and return to the highest
level of function possible. Our therapists work with each patient to determine
which technologies best support their recovery goals.
Care that Keeps Family in Mind
Casa Colina offers
peer support and education groups for injured individuals reintegrating into the community, as well as support
and socialization for their families and caregivers. We even offer on-site
housing, on a first-come, first-served basis, for non-local families to
be near their loved one during rehabilitation.
Long-Term Care in a Serene Environment
Casa Colina offers two long-term residential care facilities for individuals
with brain injuries.
Casa Colina at Apple Valley (54 beds) and
Casa Colina at Rancho Piño Verde (34 beds) provide structured or semi-independent living programs for individuals
with brain injury who may require ongoing supervision while they continue
to work on their functional independence. Both are professionally staffed
with 24-hour supervision to ensure complete care, safety, and security.
Both locations are licensed to serve non-ambulatory residents.
