It's not an office job or school, but for our clients, it's a lot of hard work and an extraordinary education. The Transitional Living Center provides a homelike environment where those with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and neurological trauma can safely work on developing their daily living skills and becoming more independent.
This is accomplished each day under the careful supervision of a highly specialized team comprised of physicians, neuropsychologists, behavioral specialists, speech-language pathologists, physical and occupational therapists, nurses, and clinical case managers.
Each day is filled with intensive therapy sessions, which focus on:
- Physical restoration of functions - including bowel and bladder control, mobility and self-care
- Cognitive skill building -addressing attention, concentration, memory, problem solving and communication
- Social/behavioral shaping - improving impulse control, social appropriateness, and frustration tolerance
- Reintegration into the home and community - covering home skills, money management, accessing transportation, and safety awareness
- Psychological adjustment - addressing changes in relationships, body image and living with a new sense of self
We also ask that you as well as your loved one's friends and co-workers become included in this process, so that
we understand the challenges and demands that he or she faces at home, work, school and within the community.
This will help us create the optimal treatment plan. You can be sure our specialists will do whatever they can to help
your loved one return to a more enriching life.
