Settlement Would Move Brain Injury Patients from Nursing Homes
Posted on Jun 04, 2008

Advocates said Monday’s settlement could mean greater freedom for the estimated one-quarter of the state’s 8,000 brain-injured residents of nursing homes and rehabilitation centers who are capable of living on their own or in a group, with some nursing assistance.
"I think their quality of life will certainly be improved, and when that happens, your physical and mental health also improve," said Arlene Korab, executive director of the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts, and mother of Kevin Korab, a 42-year-old brain-injured man who successfully lives in a Dartmouth home with another disabled man.
