Rehabilitation Center

Our 8-bed Rehabilitation Center is designed to assist clients who have experienced significant life
changes due to undergoing an illness, injury, or surgical procedure. In short, it is a step by step
process toward recovery. Common conditions that are treated at our Rehabilitation Center are
amputation, spinal cord injury, stroke (CVA) and traumatic brain injury.

limitations and adjustments expected to impact the individuals’ life in the future.
