Comprehensive and compassionate life care after serious injury

A home for individuals who have experienced brain injury, spinal cord injury, or injury or illness. After a catastrophic life event, finding the right long-term life care facility can feel overwhelming. You want a place that feels like home — one that will enhance your loved one’s life and provide quality care and attention.

Enter Nexus Specialty Hospital and Nexus Neurorecovery Center. We provide a variety of programs, services, therapies, and activities that help patients adjust to disability and increase overall wellbeing. With two settings — one designed for medically complex individuals and one community-based — Nexus is providing compassionate and fun lifelong care as we’re mending minds.

Life care doesn’t mean your loved one or patient has to reside in a traditional assisted living facility. Nexus offers two great, family-focused, positive environments that focus on individual wellbeing and support.

  • Daily programming, therapy, and activities
  • 24-hour nursing care
  • Movement through campus continuum of care to attain the highest level of independence in a minimally restrictive environment
  • Vocational rehabilitation (job coaching, on-the-job training, liaising with employees)

What is the purpose of life care?

Once patients have been discharged from inpatient rehabilitative programs, they usually need to continue regular physical therapy exercises at home. Outpatient physical therapy can bridge the gap between inpatient care and complete recovery, ensuring patients continue to heal post-discharge. The length and frequency of physical therapy sessions recommended depends on your child’s unique treatment plan. A qualified physical therapist will not only facilitate outpatient sessions, but also teach children how to exercise independently at home.
