Living at Omahanui Special Care Unit – Short Term or Home for Life

A number of our clients are admitted to Omahanui Special Care Unit for intensive rehabilitation therapies and care with the goal to return home. Following a severe brain injury or accident affecting physical ability however, some clients require a more permanent living arrangement.
Rest Homes and other elder care facilities are often not age appropriate or often not equipped to manage the complex rehabilitation and medical needs of people who have suffered a brain injury.
