Compassionate Care. Stronger Futures. Brighter Lives.
Providing life-changing care and support for individuals living with brain injury and their families. Through compassion, expertise, and innovation, we help survivors live with dignity, hope, and purpose.
From Personal Promise to a Proven Standard
Our foundation began with a crisis, and a calling. In 1996, after Jimmy Simpson suffered an anoxic brain injury, his wife Carol discovered a heartbreaking gap in lifelong care options. Determined to help others facing the same struggle, she founded The Jimmy Simpson Foundation in 1998. Today, we remain guided by our core values: Dignity, Respect, Community, Integrity, Collaboration, and Hope.
Our Values
Everyone has the right to a high quality of life, regardless of mental or physical capabilities.

Our Three Pillars
Comprehensive Care and Community
Specialized Residential Care When care is complex and time is critical, Safehaven is your trusted partner. We provide 24/7 expert, compassionate placement in a home-like environment for individuals with brain injuries and ventilator dependency. Because when someone lives here for years, care becomes home.
Building Impact A $20 million capital campaign to expand Safehaven’s capacity from 12 to 24 suites. This expansion will modernize our infrastructure, preserve our outcomes, and ensure that our promise of lifelong care becomes permanent for generations to come.
