Who We Support
Brain injury can happen to anyone, anytime.
Survivors are your family and friends … members of your community.
We believe in a community where there is support for everyone with severe brain injury. And, we are here to support survivors of the most severe injury, including stroke, with hope, encouragement and quality rehabilitation.
To ensure our programs are delivered with these values in mind, we offer services to survivors 16-75 years of age who require 24 hour care and/or supervision.
We see meaningful relationships develop, independence regained and life after brain injury lived with passion and purpose.
