Stroke Rehabilitation, Functional Recovery, and Cost-effectiveness

Description

The investigators will determine the client and non-client variables associated with discharge to an inpatient rehabilitation facility vs. skilled nursing facility in individuals' post-stroke. The investigators will determine how these variables are associated with short-term (discharge from facility) and long-term (6-months post-stroke) function and quality of life.
