Outpatient Areas of Expertise

One of the areas that differentiates On With Life’s Outpatient program from other programs in the Des Moines, Ankeny and Coralville areas, is that our sole focus is in the area of neuro rehabilitation. Our team has extensive experience working with individuals who have sustained or are living with a brain injury, stroke, concussion, Parkinson’s disease or other complex neurological condition. We focus our resources on training staff specifically in these areas and staying up-to-date on the latest research advancements and technology available. Neuro rehabilitation truly is our expertise and we are dedicated to bringing the people we serve the latest in best-practice treatment options.

Brain Injury

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.

Stroke

At On With Life, we understand that each rehabilitation plan needs to be specialized for you. Our Stroke ENGAGE Program was developed based on this understanding and focuses on identifying and responding to the special and unique needs of individuals recovering from a stroke.

Concussion

A concussion can affect each person differently and requires a transdisiplinary team approach to care. To provide this level of care, On With Life has developed a Complex Concussion program which assesses each individual's symptoms and needs within our uniquely developed seven domains of care. 

Parkinson's Disease

The goal of On With Life's Parkinson's program is to provide a comprehensive outpatient program that addresses the specific needs of those impacted by Parkinson's at all levels of progression to improve quality of life.
Therapeutic Environment
