Brain Injuries, Stroke & Neurological Conditions
Dealing with the after-effects of a brain injury,
stroke or other neurological condition can be
complicated. At Courage Center, our experienced
brain injury team provides coordinated care
throughout this often complex rehabilitation process.
Our comprehensive services for children, teens and
adults can help people regain lost skills and
function, as well as introduce new tools and
strategies that improve or support independence.
A Continuum of Care for People with Brain Injury or Stroke
Inpatient Services (Transitional Rehabilitation Program)
Courage Center’s team approach to rehabilitation includes on-site physicians, nursing, a full range of therapies, psychology and neuropsychology, and recreational therapy. Physical, occupational and speech therapies help improve your independence with mobility, daily living skills and communication. This includes working on balance, coordination, strength, memory, problem solving, speech and language. Our inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (TRP) offers specialized services and access to programs with a warm water pool and advanced rehabilitation technologies.
Our physicians specialize in areas including physical medicine and rehabilitation, primary care and psychiatry. A holistic approach is used to address the complex medical rehabilitation needs often associated with brain injury.
Our continuum of care makes it easy to transition to begin outpatient care. Outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy, aquatic and land-based fitness, and home and community-based therapy programs are offered through Courage Center.
Brain injury teams
At Courage Center you are served by a Brain Injury Team, which includes a primary therapist in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and/or speech-language pathology, as well as a social worker and care coordinator. Each team meets weekly to discuss progress, solve problems and identify additional services that may be needed.

We teach you how to apply therapeutic techniques and strategies while in your familiar environments.
Our experts work with you to develop and implement an individual behavioral plan. The goal: increased self-control and successful community involvement.
