Frazier's Stroke Recovery Program emphasizes teamwork so that patients can return to their homes and communities at their highest functional levels.

An interdisciplinary team of medical and clinical professionals help the patient throughout the rehab process. The Frazier team sees the patient and family as key participants in therapy, personal care, stroke education and planning the return home.

Stroke patients enter Frazier at different levels of recovery. The rehab team expects variations in abilities and extent of recovery, therefore, the rehab stay at Frazier is tailored individually. Following evaluation, the rehab team determines each person's needs to maximize recovery. Services include individual therapy, rehab nursing care, routine medical care and consultation, specialized diagnostic testing and family teaching.

Family education helps families prepare for the patients' return home. Group therapy addresses daily living skills, communication, self-feeding and swallowing needs.

The stroke team focuses on improving patients' communication abilities and physical and/or cognitive capabilities - all essential to mobility, self-care and psychosocial adjustment to stroke.

Prior to inpatient discharge, follow-up meetings that may be needed are arranged. Frequently, patients return to one of Frazier's outpatient facilities for therapy. Specific patient needs are addressed by the outpatient rehab team, with the purpose of reaching each patients' full potential. Frazier also offers a stroke support group with monthly meetings for both stroke survivors and family members.
