The nurses, physicians and therapists specialize in neurological rehabilitation. Speech therapy teaches the patient and caregivers strategies to manage changes in memory and attention. Physical and occupational therapy work towards improved strength and balance to support independence during daily tasks. Social workers and case managers will help identify community resources to support a safe transition home.
