We believe that caring for patients means helping them learn to do as much for themselves as possible. Patients participate in a daily schedule of one-on-one therapy, group treatment, community re-entry and adaptive leisure activities, patient and family education, training and support, and other goal-directed activities. Upon discharge, patients continue their course of treatment in their community environment and return to the care of their personal physician.
