The Neuro-Medical Treatment Centers are specialized long-term care facilities certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under OBRA regulations. Residents residing at the Neuro-Medical Treatment Centers have primary diagnoses of chronic or persistent medical conditions. The health and physical status of these residents require 24-hour supervision including support, daily nursing assessment and assistance with activities of daily living.
Each of the Neuro-Medical Treatment Centers is a specialty center, and as such, their services are limited to unique populations which include people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities who are aging, people with Alzheimer’s Disease or related dementias, and elderly people who have a history of a psychiatric illness whose medical conditions require 24-hour nursing care. Please note the populations served at each of the Neuro-Medical Treatment Centers:
