Our Mission - To Enhance Life
The consequences of brain
injury and other
neurological disorders are devastating, often creating lifelong challenges. At Beechwood NeuroRehab, our mission is to enhance independence for individuals with brain injury and other neurological disorders. We embrace this guiding principle through personalized care and comprehensive rehabilitation programs.
Beechwood also recognizes and respects the needs, desires and rights of those we serve, their families, and funding representatives, as we strive to fulfill their expectation of a quality brain rehabilitation program.

Program Outcomes
The Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI) is used to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs that serve people in the post-acute phase following acquired brain injury (ABI). It measures progress on a range of physical, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social problems that people may encounter after ABI. MPAI-4 items combine into the Ability Index, the Adjustment Index, and the Participation Index. The Participation Index is a particularly useful measure of the ultimate goal of rehabilitation—societal participation.
Outpatients who have participated in Beechwood’s programs show a significantly higher rate of Adjustment compared with outpatients seen in other post-acute rehabilitation programs. The Beechwood outpatients are also participating at a higher rate in everyday life activities, compared with outpatients served by other post-acute rehabilitation programs.
