The Jimmy Simpson Foundation

The Jimmy Simpson Foundation is a 501c3 organization based out of Rock Spring, GA. JSF was founded by Carol Simpson after her husband, Jimmy, suffered an anoxic brain injury as a result of a fall out of a hospital bed after surgery. While searching for long-term placement for Jimmy, it was difficult to find an environment that fostered individuality as well as provided a safe home environment. As with many non-profit organizations, the family saw a need within the brain injury community and stepped up to meet that need. In July 1998, the Jimmy Simpson Foundation opened its first long-term care program for traumatic brain injury, Safehaven. The program is dedicated to providing quality care in a home environment helping each resident to maintain as much of his or her physical and cognitive abilities as possible. In 2000, we added the North Georgia Support Group for brain-injured individuals and their families.
