Chest pain, severe difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms, major bleeding, or loss of consciousness require emergency medical services. This page describes non-emergency care delivered at home by skilled nurses.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
What you should know
Traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force injures the brain — from car accidents, falls, sports injuries, or violence. TBI severity ranges from mild concussion to severe injury with prolonged unconsciousness and permanent disability. Even mild TBIs can cause persistent symptoms that affect daily life for weeks or months.
Recovering from a moderate to severe TBI at home requires a coordinated team approach. Patients may have physical deficits (weakness, balance problems), cognitive challenges (memory, attention, executive function), communication difficulties, and behavioral changes (irritability, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation). Each of these requires specialized therapy.
Our home health program for TBI includes physical therapy for motor recovery, speech therapy for cognitive-linguistic rehabilitation, occupational therapy for daily living skills, and skilled nursing for medication management and seizure precautions. We also provide significant caregiver education because caring for a TBI survivor is uniquely challenging.

Common questions
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) — Common Questions
Recovery timelines vary enormously based on injury severity. Mild TBIs (concussions) typically resolve within weeks to months. Moderate to severe TBIs may require years of rehabilitation, and some deficits may be permanent. The brain continues to heal and adapt for months to years after injury, and therapy helps maximize that recovery.
Yes. The brain has significant neuroplasticity — the ability to form new neural connections. Cognitive rehabilitation through speech therapy uses structured exercises and compensatory strategies to improve memory, attention, problem-solving, and communication. Early, intensive therapy produces the best outcomes.
