Life Care Services in the Least Restrictive Environment

There are times after a neurological impairment that despite improvement, the individual continues to require 24-hour care and supervision for safety or other concerns. Designed to maximize a patient’s recovery potential, improve the quality of life, and decrease the overall burden of care on family members, Nexus Neurorecovery Center offers a Life Care Program as part of our continuum of services. As patients age, there are more medical issues that are sometimes compounded by their acquired or traumatic brain injury, and our experienced staff are able to handle these complexities.

Our Program Promotes

• Quality of life issues by including interventions designed to:
  • Minimize risk and prevent medical complications and secondary disability
  • Maximize potentials for independence, productivity, self-actualization, and self-advocacy
  • Daily life within the least restrictive environment while protecting the rights of the individual and his/her family

Life Care Services

• Physical/Functional Status: Care is taken to address the physical/cognitive, social/emotional, environmental, and pain limitations
• Advocacy: Frequent communication is maintained between family members, guardians, trustees, advocates, hospital disciplines, and case managers
• Education Programs: Developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, disability awareness, life care planning goals, rehab issues, case management, interdisciplinary team process, family/professional relationships, patient/family teaching, and personal safety

Life Care at Nexus Neurorecovery Center

With our residential care homes, we’re able to provide long-term or life-care services to meet patients’ needs in a home-like and caring environment. About half of our residents call our Neurorecovery Center home, and a few of our patients have lived with us on our campus for over twenty years. Our staff is their surrogate family, dedicated to working with these residents help them achieve short- and long-term goals and celebrate life events and milestones.

We concentrate on maintaining our residents’ health and level of function so they can enjoy the greatest independence and participate in community activities for both work (when applicable) and leisure. Residents engage in their daily routines with staff members who provide stability and assistance as necessary so they can enjoy the greatest success in life.
