RAMP's Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Program is a State of Illinois Medicaid Waiver program designed to provide community based services that will meet the needs of individuals with brain injuries and help prevent unnecessary institutionalization. The TBI community based services equal the level of care that a nursing facility might provide, and yet the community based services allow the individual to remain in their home and community.

RAMP works closely with the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) Division of Home Services and the DHS Brain Injury Case Management Unit. We also work closely with nursing homes by providing continuity of service to individuals leaving the rehab setting. Previously, the majority of TBI referrals came from the Illinois DHS office. Since RAMP has taken on the TBI program, we have educated the public on the program services and now referrals come from doctors, rehabilitation facilities and word-of-mouth.
