Come Stand Where the Future Can Begin
The Vision Behind Safehaven’s Expansion

For nearly 30 years, Safehaven has provided specialized, lifelong residential brain injury care grounded in faith, dignity, stability, and community. Today, all 12 private suites are occupied. Through Foundations for the Future™, the Jimmy Simpson Foundation is working to expand Safehaven from 12 to 24 suites—creating room for more individuals and families to experience care that truly feels like home.
Nearly 30 years of specialized brain injury care have shown us what is possible when care becomes home. Now, the Jimmy Simpson Foundation is preparing for Safehaven’s next chapter.
For nearly 30 years, Safehaven has provided specialized, lifelong residential care for individuals living with brain injury.
That care is grounded in faith, dignity, stability, and a simple but deeply important belief:
When someone lives here for years, care becomes home.
Safehaven is not a temporary stop along the way. It is a place where residents are known, supported, encouraged, and surrounded by people who understand their individual needs. It is a place where routines become familiar, relationships grow over time, and residents can experience a true sense of belonging.
For families, that kind of stability can provide something equally important: confidence that their loved one is living in a safe, supportive environment designed around long-term care.
A Home Built Around the Individual
Brain injury can affect nearly every part of a person’s life, including mobility, communication, memory, behavior, relationships, and the ability to complete everyday activities independently.
The effects are different for every person. That is why meaningful brain injury care cannot follow a one-size-fits-all model.
At Safehaven, care is centered on the individual.
Residents receive support based on their unique abilities, preferences, routines, goals, and medical needs. Just as importantly, they are part of a community where birthdays are celebrated, friendships are formed, visitors are welcomed, activities bring people together, and daily life includes opportunities for connection and joy.
This is what makes Safehaven more than a residential program.
It is home.
When Every Suite Is Occupied
Today, all 12 of Safehaven’s private suites are occupied.
That full capacity reflects the value of the care Safehaven provides—but it also creates a difficult limitation.
When every suite is occupied, there is no room to welcome another individual or family who may need this type of lifelong support.
Families affected by brain injury often face complicated and emotional decisions. They may spend years helping a loved one navigate medical care, rehabilitation, changing abilities, and long-term support needs. When the time comes to explore residential care, they need more than a building with an available bed.
They need a place where their loved one will be treated with dignity.
They need a team that understands the lasting impact of brain injury.
They need a community where care and belonging exist together.
And they need that option to be available when the need arises.
Expanding from 12 to 24 Private Suites
Through
Foundations for the Future, the Jimmy Simpson Foundation is working toward an expansion that would increase Safehaven’s capacity from
12 to 24 private suites.
Twelve additional suites would mean more than additional rooms.
They would represent:
- More individuals receiving specialized, lifelong brain injury care
- More families gaining access to a trusted residential-care option
- More opportunities for stability, dignity, and meaningful connection
- Greater capacity to respond to the long-term needs of people affected by brain injury
- A stronger foundation for the future of Safehaven’s mission
Each suite represents a person.
Each person represents a family.
And each family carries its own story, questions, concerns, hopes, and dreams for the future.
That is why this expansion matters.
Building More Than Space
Foundations for the Future is not simply a construction project.
It is an investment in people.
It is a commitment to preserving the compassionate, home-like environment that has defined Safehaven while creating the capacity to serve more families.
The vision is not to become larger for the sake of growth. The vision is to expand thoughtfully while protecting what makes Safehaven special: individualized care, meaningful relationships, community involvement, and a culture in which residents are treated as people first.
The future facility must support the practical needs of residents and caregivers, but it must also feel welcoming.
It must provide room for care, connection, activities, visitors, and daily life.
Most importantly, it must continue to feel like home.
A Future Built by Community
Safehaven’s story has always included people who chose to become involved.
Families, staff members, volunteers, churches, businesses, donors, healthcare professionals, community organizations, and friends have all contributed to the community that exists today.
The next chapter will require that same spirit of shared commitment.
Some people will support the expansion financially. Others will introduce the Foundation to potential partners, volunteer their time, share the mission, visit Safehaven, or help another person understand why lifelong brain injury care matters.
Every relationship helps strengthen the Foundation’s ability to move forward.
Major projects are rarely brought to life by one person or one organization. They become possible when a community begins to see the vision, understand the need, and recognize the role each person can play.
More care. Stronger families. Brighter tomorrows.
That is the future we are working toward.
