Role and Outcomes of Supported Community Living Programs in Post-Hospital Brain Injury Rehabilitation Programs

The expectations for services in the SCL portion of the care continuum for ABI are unique. Unlike intensive rehabilitation programs which focus on improvement often earlier in the course of recovery, the goal of SCL services is sustained functioning over the long term. Analyses reported here indicate this can be achieved for at least 5 years, potentially mitigating the increased risk for rehospitalization and increased care needs in the ABI population. This study highlights a key finding of MPAI-4 stability within these understudied brain injury service lines. Additional exploration of comorbidities and more nuanced delineation of diagnostic information could further clarify factors influencing outcome stability over time.
