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.
Brain injury residential facility
Located in Decatur, Georgia, the Brain Injury Residential Program offers an accessible 6-bed facility with 24-hour supervision by our nursing and patient care staff. The home is nestled in a community neighborhood with beautiful landscaping and is convenient to nearby shopping, recreational amenities, and medical services.
Your care is facilitated by a physiatrist and supported by a team of nurses, therapists, and rehabilitation assistants. Brain injury specialists work with you to implement behavior and personal management plans. You receive additional assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), medications, and behavior management.
At Shepherd Pathways, we encourage you to do as much for yourself as possible, including showering, getting dressed, and cleaning your room. Our goal is to help you be as independent as possible to prepare for the transition back into your home and community.
