The Casa Colina Brain Injury Program is renowned for offering one of the most extensive traumatic brain
injury (TBI) care and rehabilitation facilities available in the country. It offers various levels of
care that include Casa Colina Hospital, a
Joint Commission-accredited facility, which has a unique physician-directed program designed to help
those with brain injuries travel the path to recovery through inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation.
The hospital relies on proven clinical pathways that ensure “best practices” are used by the team
throughout a patient’s stay.
The Casa Colina Brain Injury Program’s inpatient rehabilitation involves:
- Board-certified physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians and licensed nurses specializing in rehabilitation
- Doctors and nurses available around the clock
- All patient services directed by a physician
- A detailed clinical pathway of care designed for patients with a traumatic brain injury
- At least 3 hours of therapy a minimum of 5 days a week (may include physical, occupational, speech therapies and other disciplines as needed)
- Weekly clinical-team conferences to discuss patient care and progress
- State-of-the-art medical and rehabilitation facilities for neurological patients, including indoor and outdoor therapy gymnasiums, activities-of-daily-living and speech language suites, aquatic therapy pools, laboratory, imaging and diagnostic services
Upon being discharged from Casa Colina Hospital, some individuals may not be completely ready to return to their
home and community settings. They may require post-acute care to further their rehabilitation. The CARF-accredited
Transitional Living Center, located on campus directly
across from the hospital, offers a short-term residential setting where individuals may benefit from six hours of
individual and group therapy, six days a week. A day treatment program is also available.
Others may require long-term care through the
Casa Colina at Rancho Pino Verde or
Casa Colina at Apple Valley residential centers
in order to continue to work on their functional independence and personal growth.
Other patients with traumatic brain injury may only need
Casa Colina’s Outpatient Services where they may
access a variety of programs that include:
Our experienced team finds innovative ways to help brain injury survivors overcome disabilities and maintain
a rewarding lifestyle – so patients can achieve the highest level of independence possible.
