Centers’ stroke unit is an intensive, comprehensive program implemented by a highly skilled interdisciplinary team in a safe, secure environment. Our leading-edge stroke treatments and therapies are based on the most advanced research and technology.
Our stroke rehabilitation centers throughout New York and New Jersey are staffed with expert teams that include board-certified neurologists, attending physicians, registered nurses, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, social workers, recreation and diet specialists, and more.
Patients suffering from a stroke can experience a wide range of diverse — and sometimes rare — symptoms. Specialists at our rehab centers for stroke patients identify specific needs, creating a precise plan covering medications, treatments, and therapy.
From the moment patients enter the Stroke Unit, we begin to plan their discharge, empowering them to achieve increased ability and independence, focusing not only on rehab after a stroke but on prevention of future strokes as well.
