For more than 60 years, Casa Colina has been a leader in care for those
recovering from spinal cord injury (SCI), offering one of the most comprehensive
SCI treatment programs in the country.
Our care continuum spans the entire treatment and recovery process, including
acute hospital rehabilitation, short-term residential rehabilitation and
day treatment, home and community services, outpatient care, education
and support groups, and more. Patients are admitted to the area of care
most appropriate to their level of injury, and all services are customized
to accommodate their unique needs.
Overseen by a physician certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation
and supported by the
Casa Colina Research Institute, our experienced clinicians and
residents-in-training combine state-of-the-art methods with proven clinical pathways to help
those recovering from SCI face the challenges of their injury, increase
function, and improve their quality of life.
The Optimal Choice for Inpatient Rehabilitation
Treatment for individuals with SCI often 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 our seasoned therapists, many of whom hold
Neurologic Clinical Specialist certifications. Our clinical teams hold
weekly meetings to track progress and plan the next steps of each patient’s
rehabilitation.
A board-certified physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation
directs each team of brain injury specialists. Teams may include:
Audiologists
Case managers
Internal medicine doctors
Neuropsychologists
Occupational therapists
Physical therapists
Registered nurses
Respiratory therapists
Recreational therapists
Social workers
Speech-language pathologists
Other specialists as needed
Transitional Living to Prepare for Home
Our
Transitional Living Center (TLC) is a 46-bed, CARF-accredited treatment facility that offers individuals
with brain injuries a bridge between acute rehabilitation and home. We
provide residents up to six hours of individual and group therapy, six
days a week, to help them build function and independence.
All care is overseen by a physician specializing in physical medicine and
rehabilitation, and care teams include physical therapists, occupational
therapists, speech-language 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.
At the TLC, our focus is to provide functional real-world tasks while tackling
challenges that clients will later face at home, in the community, or
at the workplace. Programming includes community outings that provide
our clients opportunities to practice skills in real-world settings and
facilitate successful transition back into their daily lives.
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:
Casa Colina provides a range of
assistive and rehabilitation technology to help our patients with spinal cord injury overcome physical challenges,
foster independence, and regain function. Our experienced therapists work
with patients to try different devices and determine which ones best support
their rehabilitation goals.
Care that Keeps Family in Mind
We offer
peer support and education groups for patients with spinal cord injuries and their families. Casa Colina
also provides on-site housing, on a first come, first served basis, for
families who have traveled from a distance to be near their loved one
during the rehabilitation process.
