Community-Based Brain Injury Rehabilitation Programs


Hope Network's Community-Based Brain Injury Rehabilitation Programs focus on enhancing a person’s life right within his or her own home. Designed for people who are settled within the community, this program provides assistance with budgeting and planning, personal routines and transportation options, in-home therapy, and much more. Our goal is to encourage a sense of pride, accomplishment, and hope for an independent future.

Community-Living Program: Specialized staff provide daily contact to ensure that individuals are successfully and safely maintaining independent living in their home or apartment. Whether in need of a community residential placement that includes 24/7 on-call staff support, or assistance with life’s more complex tasks such as budgeting and medication management, Hope Network Rehabilitation Services' Community Living Program enables participants to fully integrate into the community and establish a self-supporting lifestyle.

In-Home Clinical Support: Hope Network Rehabilitation Services recognizes the benefits of providing clinical support in the home environment. By providing In-Home Clinical Support, specialized therapists are able to design real-life scenarios where individuals can to practice functional skills in their personal surroundings.

Services provided through our Community Living Program and In-Home Support are offered at all of our locations throughout Michigan.

   
 
Beyond the Clinic: Treatment Returns Traumatic Brain Injury Patients to the Great Outdoors
11/8/2011
(Reprinted from the Grand Rapids Press) At the age of 24, Keith Knuth suffered a traumatic brain injury that significantly affected his mobility and left him dependent on a wheelchair.
Like many Michigan residents, Knuth was an avid hunter and all around sportsman prior to his accident, but his injuries made him wonder whether he would ever pursue his hobby again.
Six months into his rehabilitation, Knuth was introduced to Scott Fletcher and the Outdoor Recreation Program at Hope Network. The program offers people who have limitations after severe accident or injury an opportunity to relearn skills that will allow them to continue participating in outdoor activities.
