Levels of Care

Residential or home-based programs - Are designed to re-integrate the individual into the community. Such programs often include vocational assessment and training, as well as supported and competitive employment placements. The focus is on maximizing activities of daily living and vocational competitiveness.

Skilled nursing facility - Sometimes called SNF, provides continuing supportive nursing care augmented with some minimal physical, occupational, and speech therapy for severe brain injury deficits that are slowly improving or needing maintenance.

Residential nursing facility - A nursing care home with nursing services but usually no therapists on staff.

Home health care - The delivery of therapeutic and nursing services into the home, through specialized agencies.

Home - Being maintained and supported at home, usually by family members, with no ongoing professional support.
