Stan Cassidy Centre For Rehabilitation

Our goal, mandate and approach

The goal of rehabilitation SCCR
is to develop or restore as much autonomy of function, independence and dignity to a person as possible so that they may continue to enjoy a good, quality life.

Successful rehabilitation comes from the determination of the client and the efforts of those who assist in their rehabilitation. This means developing relationships with referral agents, rehabilitation professionals, community agencies and consumer groups.

Rehabilitation addresses restoration of physical, psychological and social functioning. This requires the help of professionals who specialize in these areas.

Mandate and approach

  • Provide highly specialized clinical services to inpatients, day patients and out-reach patients.
  • Provide consultation and education to other rehabilitation professionals, community agencies and consumer groups.
  • Focus on patients whose problems originate in neurological conditions due to disease, injury or problems at birth.
  • Keep abreast of new developments and conduct research and development relevant to our client base.

  • traumatic brain injuries
