Rehabilitation is a lengthy and life-changing process, requiring a considerable amount of effort from the patient. The chosen rehab facility must ensure comfort for its patients and make them confident in their ability to recover. NeuLife residential rehabilitation center provides just that.
What is Residential Rehab?
Residential rehab is short for residential rehabilitation and refers to medical treatment of patients living on-site at a facility where a holistic and structured care-planned program is provided.
The goal of residential rehabilitation is to restore some or all of the patient’s physical, sensory, and mental capabilities that were lost due to injury or disease, in the least restrictive environment possible.
Residential Rehabilitation vs. Traditional Rehabilitation setting?
When changes in the client’s personality and severity of problems create disruption in the recovery process, residential rehabilitation may become an appropriate alternative – both in the short and long term – for three simple reasons:
- Residential rehab provides comprehensive therapies and individual treatment strategies in a home-like environment with a supportive atmosphere.
- It promotes community involvement and serves as a transition to the patient’s own community.
- It decreases the burden on the caregiver and helps the family adjust to lives that have been changed as the result of a loved one’s acquired brain injury.

What to expect during your Residential Rehabilitation stay at NeuLife, Florida
Depending on the individual patient’s case and condition, the procedure may vary, but these are the general phases a patient will pass through:
- The Initial Evaluation & Assessment Phase: The first 7-10 days will focus on getting to know each other, assessing the strengths and needs of the patient, setting goals, and crafting a singular plan that will guide our therapeutic efforts. Each patient will undergo a comprehensive physical assessment, including behavior recording in some cases. Specialists like physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists are just a few of the many professionals who help in completing the assessment.
- The Structured Rehabilitation Phase: This phase, defined by highly structured and coordinated therapeutic activities, is the core of the rehabilitation process. Therapeutic days will be structured from the time patients wake up till bedtime, incorporating individual and group sessions, rest periods and recreational activities.
- Transition and Discharge Planning: As the Structured Rehabilitation phase progresses and the desired improvements become visible, the discharge plan becomes more defined. During the last few weeks, the focus is on family education and counseling aimed at easing patients’ transitions back to their communities.
