Delaware NeuroRehab has purchased a 57,000 square foot facility at the former Governor Bacon Health Center on the grounds of Fort Dupont in Delaware City.
The company said it will create the state’s first-of-its-kind post-acute brain injury rehabilitation program.
When renovations are completed, the facility will have 28 in-patient rooms, therapy gyms, and numerous other amenities for those suffering from traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and other neurological conditions.
“Too many Delaware families are forced to travel out of state during one of the most difficult times in their lives,” said Dr. Haresh Sampathkumar, Founder and Medical Director of Delaware NeuroRehab. “Our vision is to provide nationally recognized brain injury rehabilitation close to home, allowing patients to recover while remaining connected to their families, caregivers, and support systems, and ultimately return to meaningful daily activities including work.”
Delaware NeuroRehab has existing outpatient locations in Dover, Newark, and Lewes.
Work is scheduled to be completed in the spring of next year.
