BrainCare provides daily support for individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI), including traumatic brain injury (TBI). We help participants relearn lost skills and grow toward independence and self-sufficiency. We do this through specialized living communities, coordinated care and cognitive rehabilitation with skills training. We have been honored to serve this community since 1999.
