Among persons who received acute rehabilitation for TBI, 35.4% were discharged from rehabilitation to a setting different from the one in which they resided before injury. The degree of change varied on the basis of preinjury residence. Overall, the results indicate that while many patients are discharged to a different residential setting than prior to their injury, some patients recover to the point where they are able to return to their premorbid residential setting. The most substantial change was for those living alone at the time of injury, and within the first year of injury.
