Brain Injury Rehabilitation
You can get through this. And we’re here to help. Our extensive neurological services, combined with specialized expertise in brain injury rehabilitation, offer you the optimal opportunity to achieve your goals and get your life back on track.
It’s a Difficult Journey. We Know The Way.
Whether the injury was the cause of a fall, car accident, brain tumor, surgery, or other life-altering trauma, we understand that each injury is unique, with specific needs, capabilities and potential. Therefore, each person served in our brain injury program has a treatment plan that is created uniquely for them. Our extensive rehabilitation experience in the treatment of individuals living with a brain injury will guide us as we work together with each person served and their family to identify rehabilitation goals and utilize the latest technology and intervention strategies to achieve those goals. Our transdisciplinary team approach will also allow each member of the rehabilitation team to communicate with each other throughout the process. This allows for carry over of interventions from one therapist to another and supports improved outcomes for those we serve.
What You Can Expect
Individualized Treatment
As specialists in brain injury rehabilitation, we know that each brain injury survivor is unique, with specific needs, capabilities and potential, and deserves a treatment plan that is highly specialized. The entire rehabilitation team at On With Life works together with persons served and their families to develop a treatment plan which meets the personal, cultural and spiritual goals and preferences of those involved. Outcomes are measured on an ongoing basis and on average, 75% or more of individual long-term goals are met and more than 65% of persons served return home at discharge.
Transdisciplinary Team
Our entire rehabilitation team works together to provide a transdisciplinary approach to the rehabilitation journey. Depending on the program or level of care you experience at On With Life, our team of brain injury experts partner together to understand your unique goals and develop a treatment plan customized to your individual needs.
Intensive Rehabilitation Services
Persons served at On With Life receive core therapy services (physical, occupational and speech therapy) an average of three hours per day, five or more days per week, with evening therapy available most days. In addition to core therapy services, additional services such as neuropsychology, clinical counseling, therapeutic recreation, music therapy and peer mentoring are provided.
Disorders of Consciousness (DoC)
Our nationally recognized Disorders of Consciousness (DoC) program addresses the unique needs of adolescents and adults with severe brain injury who present low levels of consciousness. This program includes specialized physical interventions to address body positioning, muscle tone and medical stability. We have admitted more than 250 individuals into our DoC program; 76% have emerged and moved into our traditional rehabilitation program.
Family Support Services
We understand that when a loved one sustains a brain injury, the entire family is affected. Our focus on family support and involvement in the rehabilitation process has been core to our mission since we opened in 1991. The more we can support and encourage active participation by families in their loved one’s rehabilitation process, the higher the likelihood that individuals will reach their rehabilitation goals.
