Stroke rehabilitation
Saint Luke’s cares for the most stroke patients in the region, so we know a one-size-fits-all rehabilitation plan doesn’t work for every patient. Our stroke patients go through a thorough assessment and goal-setting process. Our multidisciplinary team of expertly trained rehab therapists, physiatrists, social workers, and psychologists put together a customized plan with the goal of improving every aspect of a patient’s life so they can return home at their highest functioning level.
Our combination of leading-edge technology and personalized treatment is one reason that more of our stroke patients return home—instead of requiring additional rehab at a long-term care facility—than other facilities in the region.
In addition to rehab, our team works closely with the neurologists at Saint Luke’s Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute to provide medical care that meets the specific needs of recovering stroke patients.
