Mission
C.N.S. is dedicated to providing individuals and families recovering
from brain injury, cerebrovascular accidents, or cognitive dysfunction
secondary to another medical condition with accurate assessment
and therapeutic intervention. In order to achieve long-term positive
gains, individual treatment plans, developed within the context
of personal choice, are designed to enable individuals to meet their
needs in the community. |
|
Philosophy
We believe that, with timely rehabilitation, each person can improve
his/her functional abilities regardless of the nature of injury
sustained. Individually designed cognitive and psychosocial therapy
programs, supplemented by therapeutic groups and community re-integration,
will achieve the best outcome. |
|
Approach
Community Neurorehab Services provides holistic, comprehensive community-
based rehabilitation to individuals recovering from neurological
conditions such as brain injury and stroke. Intensive one-to-one
rehabilitation is based on mutually established outcome goals, emphasizing
practical applications, discovery of strengths and development of
compensatory strategies to overcome limitations. Services are provided
within the person's community, addressing not only the individual,
but also the environment in which he/she lives. Cognitive, physical,
psychosocial and social aspects of individuals are addressed, with
a view to successful community and/or vocational integration. |
|
Goals
To achieve the best possible individual level of independence and reintegration at home, at school, at work, and throughout the community.
To improve and maintain quality of life for individuals and their families recovering from brain dysfunction. |
