Drake Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a leader in stroke recovery treatment and research. We offer a variety of inpatient and outpatient treatment options to meet a wide range of patient needs, including:

• Hospital level of care for the most severe cases
• Transitional skilled nursing for those who need some short-term skilled nursing and extensive therapy
• Outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapies, plus neuropsychology
• Outpatient stroke recovery center (opening July 2008!)
• Assisted living

In addition, Drake Center is the only rehabilitative facility in the region that hosts research trials testing techniques to improve our patients’ outcomes and quality of life. With more than 20 ongoing research studies, including 10 focusing on stroke recovery, our staff is not only keeping up-to-date on the latest therapy approaches, but our patients get the most evidence-based care available. We are the only specialty hospital in the region with in-house clinical research laboratories that are funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Stroke Association and other national and international funding organizations. Drake Center’s current research studies include stroke recovery, aphasia, fall prevention, ventilator weaning and more. Some of our studies have helped participants regain function, sometimes years after a stroke.
