Treating the whole body after a head injury through therapies, medical services, and behavioral health. A serious brain injury can be lifechanging; but continuing the rehabilitation journey at a post-acute residential campus can be the difference to returning home and returning home successfully. Not everyone who had a brain injury, stroke, disorder of consciousness, or other neurological diagnosis will be ready to discharge from a hospital or an acute rehab facility to home. For the many who will benefit from ongoing physical, occupational, speech, and even vocational therapies, Nexus is the right place for you.
A lot sets our brain injury rehabilitation program apart from others, whether that be the six-hour therapeutic days, continuum of care levels on campus, or the 26-acres of property that give us plenty of space to offer a variety of therapies and activities.
Treating the entire person, Nexus’ medical team deploys holistic rehabilitation plans to improve sensory, motor, behavioral, and cognitive functions. The focus of our rehabilitation goes well beyond just maximizing each individual’s functional independence because we’re mending minds.

Patients in a coma, vegetative state, or minimally conscious state begin to improve cognitive, functional, and behavioral capabilities within this subprogram. Using the JFK Coma Recovery Scale-Revised, our interdisciplinary medical team assesses patient progress, predicts outcomes, projects disposition needs, and devises treatment plans. We use evaluative tools to measure the patient’s awareness, including tolerance to sitting upright, tracking, using extremities in a purposeful manner, and following commands.
While our treatment plans are ultimately determined by specific patient needs, we strive to meet a variety of objectives for all patients. The Phoenix Project evaluation process includes the following steps:
Individuals who have experienced traumatic or acquired brain trauma require specialized brain injury rehabilitation and treatment in order to meet their personal recovery goals. Families may not know where to begin when evaluating rehabilitation and treatment programs, and they may not know what treatment options are available.

Stroke rehabilitation requires time, patience, and persistence. The good news is that the brain is incredibly plastic, which means it can heal itself after sustaining an injury. To support your brain’s self-healing, keep the following tips in mind:
