COMMUNITY EVENTS
Community Outreach and Recreational Groups
Community Rehab Care assists in the transition from outpatient care to the community through skilled therapy. After discharge from skilled therapy services, Community Rehab Care also provides community outreach though Case Management services, Recreational Groups, and a yearly Snowball event.
Over the years Community Rehab Care staff have been able to establish Recreational Groups for brain injury survivors and program clients. These groups are funded primarily through grants from the Statewide Head Injury Program, obtained by Community Rehab Care.
Community Rehab care employees also take an active role in various events and groups supporting individuals with various neurological diagnoses; including Brain Injury and stroke. Staff assist to lead the B.A.B.I.S. group (Boston Acquired Brain Injury Support Group) and assist in planning the annual Heads Held High walk.
