Stroke recovery Services
The TRAC Group’s highly
skilled team of registered health-care professionals and
clinicians has extensive expertise and experience in addressing
the complex needs of those recovering from stroke.
Our approach
We understand the physiological, psychological, vocational
and social impacts of stroke on the stroke survivor, caregivers
and family members. We also understand the importance of therapy
during the optimum window of recovery.
Our goal is to help clients maximize their independence and
quality of life, at home, at work and in their communities.
We use a multidisciplinary approach, meaning our clinicians
work together and with community resources to develop and
provide stroke recovery services tailored to meet each client’s
unique needs. Our integrated, comprehensive consultation,
assessment and therapy services help those recovering from
stroke achieve and maintain the best possible outcome. We
also educate clients and families about what they can expect
during the rehabilitation and recovery process.
Where and when we can help
Respected leaders in providing exceptional, evidence-based
rehabilitation therapy, the TRAC Group
offers bilingual services to stroke survivors in the Greater
Ottawa Area.
We accept referrals from individuals, families, doctors and
other health-care providers.
We usually contact a new client within one day of an inquiry
or referral and arrange an initial assessment within five
days. Therapy begins within seven days of the assessment.
We can begin working with the client prior to discharge from
the hospital or in-patient facility, helping to identify and
obtain the therapy and equipment needed after release. Our
services begin immediately upon discharge and continue through
the rehabilitation process. We also provide immediate services,
on an interim basis, to clients who are on waiting lists for
other rehabilitation services, allowing clients to have uninterrupted
therapy during their optimum window of recovery.
