According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each
year nearly 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke. After this cerebrovascular
event, it is quite common to be left with some type of disability.
For more than 60 years, Casa Colina has been at the forefront of care for
individuals recovering from stroke, offering a nationally renowned continuum
of care that includes acute hospital rehabilitation, short-term residential
rehabilitation and day treatment, home and community services, and outpatient
care. Patients are admitted to the level of care most appropriate to their
health condition, and services are personalized to meet their unique needs.
Supported by the
Casa Colina Research Institute, our experienced clinicians and
residents-in-training combine cutting-edge methods with proven clinical pathways to help stroke
survivors overcome the diverse challenges they face.
The Optimal Choice for Inpatient Rehabilitation
For some, stroke rehabilitation 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 offering clients
recovering from stroke a bridge between inpatient rehabilitation and home.
Residents undergo up to six hours of individual and group therapy, six
days per week, to help them regain function and increase their independence.
All care at the TLC is directed by a physician specializing in physical
medicine and rehabilitation, and our expansive care teams include physical
therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, neuropsychologists,
recreational therapists, nursing staff, case managers, and other specialists
as required. Clients can access a variety of services, including short-term
residential rehabilitation, day treatment, and home and community care.
At the TLC, we focus on functional real-world tasks that prepare clients
for challenges they will encounter at home, at work, or in their communities.
Our daily programming takes clients on community outings to practice skills
in real-world settings and improve their ability to transition back into
their daily lives.
For families traveling from a distance to be near their loved one during
rehabilitation, we offer on-site housing on a first come, first served basis.
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.
