Brain Injury Day Treatment Program

Acquired Brain Injury Day Program at Shepherd Pathways

Shepherd’s Brain Injury Day Program at Shepherd Pathways provides a continuation of recovery and traumatic brain injury treatment for patients with brain injury who no longer require 24-hour nursing care. The full-day program continues the rehabilitation track from an inpatient or community program and provides ongoing assessment and therapeutic intervention.

What to Expect in the Brain Injury Day Program

Shepherd Center's Brain Injury Day Program occurs at Shepherd Pathways, a nearby facility in Decatur, Georgia. This facility offers a large open treatment space, innovative technology, and access to nearby community re-entry opportunities.

Day Rehabilitation Program services are provided five days per week and consist of individual and group-based treatments driven by patient-centered goals. Treatment is focused on community reintegration, often by returning to home, work, school, and leisure/recreation participation.

Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program Specialists

Our expert treatment teams are led by a physiatrist, a doctor specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). Our multidisciplinary team of rehabilitation specialists includes a case manager, who works closely with patients and their support systems to help coordinate each patient’s individualized care with the rehabilitation team. The rehabilitation team may include physical, occupational, speech, and recreation therapists, a nurse, a neuropsychologist, a rehabilitation counselor, a vocational specialist, and an exercise physiologist.

Our team approach aims to assist patients in rebuilding their lives with hope, independence, and dignity, advocating for their full inclusion in all aspects of community life while promoting safety and injury prevention.
