What We Do
Recovering from an acquired brain injury can be a long and difficult journey. Our program supports patients every step of the way.
West Park Healthcare Centre’s inpatient Acquired Brain Injury service is designed to help patients regain independence and return to living in the community, either independently or with support.
Our transdisciplinary healthcare team includes dietitians, neuropsychologists, care coordinators, nurses, occupational therapists, pharmacists, physicians, physiotherapists, recreation therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers.
We provide information and education on:
- Causes and effects of acquired brain injury
- Recovery
- Nutrition
- Medication
- Stress management
- Mobility and devices for daily activities.
Our program also encourages family involvement in goal setting, treatment sessions, recreational activities, and discharge planning. The graduated discharge process begins with day passes and progresses to overnight stays and weekend visits.
Patients may also be referred to West Park’s Outpatient Rehabilitation services to further improve progress and independence while living in the community.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients of West Park's ABI inpatient unit:
- Are adults (18 years of age and older)
