Drucker Brain Injury Center – Inpatient Program PDF Print E-mail

The inpatient rehabilitation programs of the Drucker Brain Injury Center allows patients with brain injury to benefit from a full range of rehabilitative services including physical, occupational and recreational therapy, speech and language therapy, psychology, rehabilitation nursing and social work.

We provide medical and rehabilitative services with an emphasis on developing skills for activity pattern functioning such as feeding, drinking, bathing, grooming, communication, mobility, as well as basic cognition and social behavior skills which allow for safe management outside of a hospital setting.

The neuro-orthopedic program provides advanced diagnostic services and surgical and non-surgical treatment alternatives to individuals with limb deformities that compromise functional ability.

The responsiveness program evaluates a minimally responsive patient’s level of sensory, motor and cognitive functioning at a given point in time through structured quantitative assessment, and uses this information to guide treatment that might improve functioning. The program uses a quantitative assessment to determine a patient’s ability to participate in and benefit from rehabilitative therapies

Program Focus

In addition to providing comprehensive, neuro-orthopedic and responsiveness programs, the Drucker Brain Injury Center inpatient rehabilitation program also provides behavioral therapy for people with traumatic brain injury.

Special Program Features

For effective and efficient service, professionals from many disciplines work together as members of a team to coordinate the establishment of a stable activity pattern, which supports destination stability. Transdisciplinary treatment members blend their roles; expertise and goals as needed to achieve a valuable outcome for the brain injured patient.

The primary goals of Center programming are destination stability and activity pattern stability. Destination stability is the establishment of a place to live in the least restrictive environment available to the client. The destination is stabilized by providing the necessary supports to those individuals with whom the client will reside. Destination stability will be established through a combination of interventions, which may be directed at either the client or the support system.
