Centre for Neuro Skills is a comprehensive rehabilitation clinic focused on supporting individuals with acquired and traumatic brain injuries. The center is located in Irving, Texas, and its proximity to major healthcare entities allows for a streamlined admissions and evaluation process, making transitions easier for patients and families. Patients benefit from the clinic’s location, which is near cultural and community events that help reinforce skills learned during therapy and facilitate reintegration into daily life.
Offering a wide range of specialized programs, Centre for Neuro Skills provides Adult Postacute Inpatient Rehabilitation, Adult Postacute Day Treatment, and an Adolescent Program. Continued Care and Telerehabilitation are also available, ensuring that rehabilitation can be tailored to suit the needs and situations of different patients. The therapeutic services at the clinic are highly comprehensive, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, educational therapy, vision therapy, vestibular therapy, cognitive therapy, patient and family counseling, neurobehavioral rehabilitation, and complementary integrative therapies. These are supported by a strong emphasis on nursing care, disease management, family-oriented education, community re-entry, home evaluations, medical coordination, case management, and patient education classes. Oversight is provided by physicians and neurologists, while consultant physicians and physiatrists review and approve all programs to ensure the highest quality of care. When needed, various medical specialists from the local community also contribute their expertise.
A cornerstone of the Centre for Neuro Skills approach is its residential rehabilitation program, which provides a supportive home environment for relearning activities of daily living. Here, patients can apply and master skills gained in clinical treatment by practicing them in a real-world residential setting, under the guidance of clinically trained staff who are on-site around the clock. Each residence is designed with a strong focus on safety and accessibility, featuring amenities like security cameras, securely locked medication drawers, large walk-in and wheelchair-accessible showers, and private or semi-private rooms. Transport is available to shuttle patients between clinical facilities and CNS-sponsored activities. Patients in these residences are situated in safe, vibrant communities near the Dallas clinic, providing convenient access to restaurants, shops, and opportunities to rebuild social connections through group activities.
An especially meaningful feature is the Steve Ashley House, named in honor of the first CNS patient, which was established as a peaceful retreat for visiting family members. This residence embodies the Centre for Neuro Skills philosophy by supporting families during the rehabilitation process. It offers short-term lodging, with comfortable two-bedroom suites, full kitchens, free internet access, and a tranquil environment with 24-hour secure surveillance. The Steve Ashley House is located close to the patient apartments and just a short drive from the main clinic, ensuring families can remain near their loved ones without added stress.
Centre for Neuro Skills extends its commitment beyond direct patient care, publishing regular updates in its Monthly Newsletter and the “Inside View” quarterly magazine, both of which provide news on brain injury research, rehabilitation developments, and advancements in the field. Through its programs, residential environments, and family support offerings, Centre for Neuro Skills demonstrates a deep dedication to enhancing independence, community reintegration, and quality of life for those affected by brain injuries.
