The program helps those who are left with nowhere to go once insurance coverage expires and patients are discharged from hospitals and private rehabilitation facilities. The program also supports and counsels family members of survivors of an acquired brain injury. An acquired brain injury is an injury to the brain sustained after birth. At least 80,000 American lives are altered by Acquired Brain Injury each year. Those who survive brain injury often find their lives dramatically changed and are no longer considered to be productive members of society.
Survivors experience new and different needs in a world with high expectations and little tolerance.
Vision House provides a different life space for these adults in which to grow, relate, and learn. Empowerment, relationship, and support drive the goals for each survivor to again become a productive member of society. Our day program emphasizes psychosocial and vocational skills. Respite, case management, community education, and family support groups are available. Long term goals include 24 hours of care if needed, and child services.
