Seattle Home and Community Rehab - Rehab Without Walls

There’s no better place to heal than in your own home and community.

High-Intensity Rehabilitation in the Home | Rehab Without Walls Rehab Without Walls® goes beyond traditional home health or outpatient therapy. We are the 1 on 1 tailored neuro rehab program that targets specific patient goals. Our home and community rehab blends evidence-based therapies with creative uses of the patient’s own surroundings – whether at home, school, work or in their own community.

We work with adults to return to work, kids to return to school and all patients to return to other meaningful activities and life roles.

Home and community neuro therapy is medically necessary for patients who qualify for the program and it offers a significant advantage in treatment. Addressing goals and barriers in real-life settings can increase motivation, lead to more durable outcomes and reduce the risk of injuries that could lead to rehospitalization.

We have served thousands of home and community rehab patients and produced proven results that have been published in numerous peer-reviewed medical journals. We have over 30 years in practice and thousands of lives rebuilt!

Program details

Our approach

We believe in removing the walls – including physical, emotional and environmental – that can slow recovery. Therefore, our approach to home and community rehab centers on:

Teaching relevant skills in the patient’s environment as opposed to a staged setting.
Going beyond personal care to real-life experiences like navigating the kitchen, the bathroom, the grocery store and workplace.
Building the patient’s goals into the therapy plan.

Instead of just learning to prepare a meal, patients learn to shop in their local grocery store and use their own kitchen. Rather than simply focusing on grooming skills, patients learn to navigate their own bathrooms safely.

A home safety evaluation is an integral part of our approach. Before therapy begins, we’ll conduct a one- to two-hour inspection focused on:

Fire hazards
ADA specifications for wheelchair-bound patients (ramps, door widths, etc.)
Whether a patient would be able to exit the house safely
Modifications in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen that could help the patient be more independent
Which surfaces, furniture and rugs might be hazardous or act as impediments
Whether the stairs can be navigated safely
Which adaptive equipment currently in use might need to be upgraded
If the outside terrain is safe and navigable
