What we do at Fourth Avenue Homes
Services for Individuals with a Brain Injury
Fourth Avenue Homes’ services are ideal for people with brain injuries or a degenerative brain disease who need case-based assistance but not highly structured support as they want to develop their sense of self.
The individuals we support include:
- people with brain injuries, a degenerative brain disease, or trauma who need scheduled care, assistance, and advocacy
- people with mental health issues associated with brain injuries
- people in a long-term recovery plan after a brain injury or head trauma incident
