Transitioning from Inpatient to Residential Rehabilitation

When you enter the post-acute phase of your recovery in Shepherd Center’s Inpatient Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program, you may transition to the residential rehabilitation program. You and your family receive total support throughout. In a transitional living apartment with a full kitchen and accessible bedrooms and bathrooms, both shared and private, you'll prepare to live more independently, should you be admitted to the brain injury residential program.
