The goal of Ability KC’s stroke rehabilitation program is to help individuals and families successfully transition from inpatient care to their homes, schools, and communities—while continuing their recovery process and helping them achieve maximum independence. Additionally, we aim to help individuals achieve their highest level of function in self-care activities, motor development, executive functioning, communication, cognition, life activities, self-advocacy, emergency preparedness, and social and emotional adjustment
Stroke Rehabilitation Services at Ability KC
Stroke rehabilitation doesn’t end when a patient leaves inpatient hospital care. With the outpatient day program at Ability KC, our highly trained staff provides intensive, individualized therapy services that allow individuals to successfully transition from inpatient care to home. By combining personalized care and advanced technology, we help give children, adolescents, and adult stroke survivors a chance to reach their full potential.
