Seniors Program
Brain Injury Services provides specialized case management to seniors (age 55+) who live in Fairfax County.
These specific case management services address the complex needs of seniors who have decreased cognition, changes in behavior, and/or diminished physical functions due to a diagnosis of acquired brain injury. The Seniors Program focuses on maximizing clients’ strengths and abilities in order to safely remain at home and in their community.
Individuals must:
- Have documented evidence of an acquired, non-degenerative brain injury that occurred after birth.
- Be at least 55 years of age.
- Reside in Fairfax County.
- Sign a release for BIS to obtain necessary assessment information. If the Case Manager believes that the individual has a drug and/or alcohol problem, they must participate in a substance abuse evaluation and must be willing to follow a treatment plan.
- Have legal status in the United States, including but not limited to, student visa, work authorization, Green Card, or citizenship.
If the Case Manager believes that the individual is a danger to themselves or others, the individual must participate in a mental health evaluation and must be willing to follow treatment recommendations.
Seniors’ Case Management services are provided at no cost to the individual. Case managers may refer clients to programs with additional fees.
Anyone can refer a Fairfax County Resident to the Seniors Program but the individual with a brain injury must demonstrate a desire to enroll in the program.
