Georgia's only Life long care facility for ventilator dependent patients
Navigating life on a ventilator requires more than just clinical oversight—it requires a partner who understands the delicate balance between high-acuity medical needs and the desire for a meaningful, dignified life.
At Safehaven, we bridge the gap between hospital-grade respiratory support and a warm, residential environment. As Georgia’s only life long, faith-based program for ventilator-dependent individuals with brain injuries, we offer families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are receiving 24/7 expert care from a team that treats every resident like family.
Our Comprehensive Care Encompasses:
- 24/7 Specialized Nursing: Round-the-clock monitoring by licensed nurses trained in complex TBI and respiratory management.
- Respiratory Therapy Leadership: Under the leadership of our Director of Respiratory Care and Medical Director, Dr. Philip Wexler and Dr. Anna Choo Elmers, Safehaven maintains the highest standards of clinical excellence. Dr. Elmers and Dr. Wexler advocate for a personalized approach to recovery, believing that a genuine, compassionate connection is the catalyst for a resident's progress. By designing custom treatment plans that prioritize both medical stability and human dignity, she ensures that every resident at Safehaven doesn't just receive care—they find a renewed quality of life.
- Continuity of Care: We work closely with leading regional hospitals and rehab centers (like the Shepherd Center) to ensure a seamless transition from acute care to our residential setting.
- Focus on Quality of Life:
Residents aren't just patients; they are community members. We provide sensory stimulation, social engagement, and customized activities tailored to each individual’s ability level
