History Of Company
For 30 wonderful years I have been a part of many successful recovery stories.
In 1984, I, Rochelle Greenberg, graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a Masters Degree in Speech-Language Pathology and began working at a residential facility treating individuals suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury. I soon determined that I desired to work with this population in a more home-like setting. I recognized that better outcomes could occur with a deeper involvement in an individual’s life care than could be obtained with limited session times.
My goal to keep Medical Alternatives, Inc. a family like environment has not wavered since 1988. Our census keeps growing but our commitment to an individual's quality of life remains a cornerstone of the treatment philosophy I adopted 30 years ago. Everyone at Medical Alternatives, Inc. takes direct pride and ownership of resident care, offers a high level of availability to residents and treatment team members, communicates regularly and effectively, follows through on open items to completion, and has a vested interested in great outcomes.
We strive daily to ensure all residents feel like part of our family and to provide everyone with the tools they need to build the life they want.
Mission Statement
Since its founding in 1988, Medical Alternatives, Inc. prioritizes improving the lives of the Traumatically Brain Injured. Our person-centered approach drives successful outcomes by combining all facets of an individual’s therapeutic care plan in conjunction with their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
