Rainbow Rehabilitation

For more than 25 years, Rainbow Rehabilitation Centers, Inc. has provided quality care and therapeutic rehabilitation services for individuals with brain and spinal cord injuries. Our treatment centers and residences are located in southeastern Michigan. Although we are located in the Midwest, our comprehensive programming draws individuals from various locations throughout the United States.

We apply the transitional philosophy to brain and spinal cord injury recovery, which covers virtually every aspect of the rehabilitation process. Whether an individual requires intensive therapy, ongoing medical attention or behavioral retraining, the ability to access Rainbow's vast network of programs and professionals during recovery ensures getting the right care at the right time.

Rainbow Rehabilitation Centers is a real-world, community-based, cost-effective community of caring providers and rehabilitation specialists. We provide transitional rehabilitation as well as long-term residential programs for adults with brain or spinal cord injuries, and children or adolescents with brain injuries. We believe in utilizing community resources whenever possible. Each individual we serve is provided with a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to meet his or her unique needs. Rainbow is committed to responding to advancements and technology changes within the industry. We will always strive to balance the needs of our clients and their financial resources in an effort to maximize their recovery.

In the early 1980s, professional brain injury rehabilitation options beyond the hospital stay were very limited. Patients were discharged from the acute care setting into nursing homes or were sent home where families cared for them on their own. Without formal rehabilitation, many patients failed to return to purposeful and productive lives after their injury.

Rainbow's vision was to build comprehensive rehabilitation programs for individuals with brain injury or those suffering with dual diagnosis of brain and spinal cord injury. This program would provide a transitional placement for the patient between the hospital and home. It would be structured so that rehabilitation could take place in community-based, home-like environments that closely resembled real-world living and would be the source of numerous benefits for the patient and the family.

This vision became reality, and over the years has evolved into what is known today as Rainbow Rehabilitation Centers, Inc. From one residential home in 1982, Rainbow has grown to include three outpatient treatment centers, more than 30 community-based residential homes and apartments in southeast Michigan. Throughout its growth and change Rainbow's commitment to the patient has remained constant. This commitment continues to be the leading force that drives the success of our organization.
