Residential Rehabilitation-

A total rehabilitation environment is offered to those individuals who require extensive physical, functional, cognitive and behavioural supports. NRIO operates residential programs in Mississauga and Hamilton for individuals who require more complex rehabilitation and care in long-term supported living programs. Etobicoke also offers a residential program for individuals who are preparing a return to independence and are learning to manage behavioural, substance abuse and/or psychiatric problems related to their brain injury. Waterloo does not have a residence but can offer services in a supported living environment in the client’s home.

The residential site in Mississauga also houses an independent apartment that can be used in determining the level of functioning and support a client will need upon discharge to their own home. This offers the client the independence of their own space while having 24-hour support available when needed.

The three residential sites are located in lovely residential neighborhoods close to community services, including medical facilities, shopping, and libraries. They also offer cultural and recreational opportunities to engage the client in a full range of community activities. Residences are well-equipped facilities for rehabilitation, while creating the comforts of home important to successful programming and community reintegration.

Each residence is staffed 24 hours a day by trained rehabilitation therapists. Due to our comprehensive staff training programs and dedicated employee base, NRIO sets a standard for achieving an unparalleled level of daily care, quality of life and rehabilitation programming.

The client and their family member(s) are actively involved in goal setting and are encouraged to participate in evaluating and revising any programming needs as their loved one experiences progress in their rehabilitation program.
