Rehab Outpatient Neuro

Ozark Neuro Rehab Center
Cox Rehabilitation Services

Individualized treatment for individuals with brain injuries and other neurological disorders.

3550 S. National Ave., Suite 200
Springfield, Missouri 65807

8 a.m. � 4:30 p.m., Monday � Friday

Day treatment services are offered on an outpatient basis to those 16 years of age or older who have sustained a brain injury or other neurological disorder. Victims of stroke, aneurysm, anoxia, encephalopathy or cerebral related illness or accident are eligible for referral.

Because the effects of brain injury and other neurological disorders vary from person to person, this program provides treatment based on a personal plan of care for each individual. This program serves as an important link for individuals who do not require further hospitalization, yet still have an identified need for rehabilitative services prior to their return to home, work, school and community.

Advocacy

Therapeutic treatment and other services are provided with a commitment to nurturing personal growth and dignity, utilizing the least restrictive environment possible that safely allows each person to sustain and enrich the quality of his or her life. All services are focused on the physical, emotional, communicative, vocational, social, occupational and recreational needs of each patient.

Services are provided by a team of physical therapists, speech/language pathologists, occupational therapists, vocational counselors and neuropsychologists/psychologists. All have specialized training, experience, expertise and interest in the treatment of traumatic brain injury and neurological disorders.

Family Involvement

The patient and his or her family are the most important members of the treatment team. All are encouraged to be involved in the rehabilitative process by participating in planning, goal setting and evaluating, and by taking part in supportive activities.

Return to the Community

Planning for the patient�s return to home, work, school or community begins the day he or she enters the day treatment program. Each individual�s strengths, needs, abilities and preferences are considered in setting the goals and objectives for his or her personalized treatment plan. To assist individuals in transferring the skills they have learned to less structured surroundings and ease their return to their community; actual and simulated situations are utilized in therapy. Examples include daily living activities and skills training such as meal preparation, budgeting, social interactions, work site interventions and community outings.

Follow-up Care

The quality of life experienced by each patient when he or she leaves the Ozark Neuro Rehab Center is a key concern. Our primary emphasis is on each individual�s strengths, not deficits. He or she may be faced with a wide range of new challenges. The program provides for follow-up services and identifies the need for further services, if necessary, to continue the patient�s improvement. Follow-up may mean continuing a single therapy, or may include utilization of various community resources.

Physician referral is required. Fax referrals to 417/269-0582.
