Residential Neuro Rehabilitation

Our Residential Neuro Rehabilitation (RNR) program is located in Des Moines and serves as a stepping stone between inpatient rehabilitation and returning home. The experienced RNR team helps persons served learn and sustain strategies to support their return to home and communities by focusing on promoting overall health, community integration, skill-building and managing neurobehavioral challenges.

It is a five-bedroom, four-bath (two full, two half) home in the Highland Park neighborhood of Des Moines, and was custom built with our persons served in mind, including their comfort, dignity and accessibility. All five bedrooms are located on the main level, which also includes a living area, large family room, exercise room, staff office, and a large open kitchen and dining room.
