What stroke rehabilitation programs are offered at Shepherd Center?

Shepherd Center offers three programs for people who require specialized rehabilitation after a stroke. Depending on the severity of illness and medical needs, stroke patients get admitted to:

  • Shepherd’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Program
    The inpatient program involves both the patient and his or her family. This program provides classes and information about how to properly prepare for the future. Our stroke treatment and recovery specialists consider each patient’s physical and cognitive changes and design a person-centered care plan to help the patient reach his or her recovery goals.
  • Shepherd Pathways Day Program
    The Day Program at Shepherd Pathways is a continuation of recovery and rehabilitation for people with brain injury who no longer need 24-hour nursing care. Patients receive ongoing assessments and therapies from an inpatient program or from the community to help them transition back to independent living. Transition activities may include shopping, dining out and accessing transportation.
  • Shepherd Pathways Outpatient Program
    For brain injuries that do not require a full spectrum of care, the Shepherd Pathways Outpatient Program offers singular therapies or a combination of therapies, depending on the care your loved one needs. Patients may come for one service or return for many services, as necessary.
