Designing Better Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery

Helping patients recover is as much of an art as it is a science, and Salude combines clinical excellence with beautiful surroundings as a way to enhance the health and wellness of every person who passes through the doors. Salude is driven to provide your patients with quality, coordinated care while also meeting their desire for a comfortable recovery and smooth transition home. 

Our care team helps patients recover from ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and we understand that stroke survivors need help relearning skills that are lost when part of the brain is injured. We help you regain independence by helping you learn how to:

• Coordinate leg movements to walk
• Carry out the steps in a complex activity
• Communicate effectively when the ability to use language has been compromised
• Perform tasks in new ways to compensate for residual disabilities

Exclusive “Transitionist” Care Model

Our “transitionist” model utilizes our full-time physician CEO to lead the clinical program. As a part of this model, we have nurse practitioners, internists and a physiatrist (rehabilitation physician) available up to 7 days a week.

We are different from other recovery centers in that our care services aren’t just limited to within our four walls. We have nurse practitioners in our community available for patient home visits as needed after they are discharged home from Salude and until they are safely bridged to their own specialty and primary care physicians.
