A common term for a place where people with paralysis are cared for is a rehabilitation center or long-term care facility.
More specifically:
- If the focus is recovery, therapy, and regaining function, it is often called a rehabilitation hospital or rehab center.
- If the person needs ongoing personal care and support, the term may be nursing home, assisted living facility, or long-term care facility.
- In cases where emotional and social support are emphasized, some people refer to them more broadly as care homes or supportive living centers.
So, while there isn’t just one name, the most accurate general term is rehabilitation center — because its purpose is to help individuals regain independence, receive therapy, and receive daily support.
