Ability KC’s spinal cord rehabilitation services in Kansas City are part of an outpatient day program for those no longer in need of inpatient care. This program is an intensive, comprehensive, and highly integrated program consisting of physical, occupational, and speech therapies centered around the unique needs of our patients. Through advanced treatments and cutting-edge technologies, we can help patients with spinal cord injuries or impairments get back to living life at their highest level of function.
The first step to receiving care through Ability KC is to connect with a community liaison or member of our admissions team. Our community liaisons and admission teams are here to help you navigate based on your specific needs and assist with your questions about our programs. They’ll be able to connect you with the appropriate care team based on your challenges and individual goals. Get started today: https://abilitykc.org/ability-kc-admissions/
Ability KC will work collaboratively with patients to develop a treatment plan through our intensive CARF-accredited outpatient medical rehabilitation day program. All services will be tailored to help patients successfully work through their specific challenges and meet their individual goals.
Our services don’t end once a person completes their treatment program. Even when patients and families accomplish all of their care goals and reach their desired milestones, we’ll always be here as a resource to help guide them through the next phases of their lives.
Our team will work with individuals to develop a care plan that can include intensive outpatient rehabilitation services, goal-based group therapies, and interest-based resources.
