Cognitive Neurorehabilitation (CNR)
Cognitive neurorehabilitation (CNR) is all about rehabilitation. This means that ordinary daily things – such as getting up, eating and going to bed – are used as practice moments. You or your loved one will receive intensive guidance from a specialized team with knowledge of acquired brain injury (ABI). We work together with recognized rehabilitation partners such as Revant, Basalt and Visio.
You don't get brain injury alone
Brain injury has an impact on the entire environment. That is why you and loved ones are actively involved in setting goals and monitoring progress. In close consultation with our care and therapists, they can also play a role in the rehabilitation process.
Who is this care program for?
This care program focuses on adults with recently acquired brain injury, for example as a result of:
- a stroke (CVA),
- traumatic brain injury,
- or other non-progressive neurological disorders.
The program is suitable for people with recent severe brain injury who are not eligible for rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center ( medical specialist rehabilitation (MSR)
Exclusion criteria
You are not eligible for the program if there is:
- a progressive neurodegenerative disorder,
- a (severe) psychiatric or behavioural disorder that requires a stay in a closed setting,
- a long-term disorder of consciousness (for more information, please visit our website)
- active addiction problems,
- A medical treatment need that cannot be provided at our location.
What does the cognitive neurorehabilitation treatment program look like?
1. Registration
If the rehabilitation doctor in the hospital indicates that Medical Specialist Rehabilitation (MSR) is available, your doctor can register you for CNR. The admissions team will assess whether you meet the criteria for Recording and observation (see above)
2. Admission and observation
Rehabilitation starts with an observation period of an average of two weeks. In this phase, we map out the rehabilitation demand together with you and draw up a personal rehabilitation plan. Is there a chance of recovery? Then we start the rehabilitation process. If rehabilitation is not feasible, we will look together for appropriate long-term care at home or in an institution.
3. Treatment
The rehabilitation program consists of 5 to 10 treatment moments per week. Every six weeks we discuss the progress. How long the process takes depends on your recovery. The goal is always to increase self-reliance so that you can function as well as possible in daily life.
4. Dismissal and aftercare
Together we look at what is needed after the process. This can vary from living independently at home to being transferred to another suitable form of housing, possibly within your own environment.
