Life Skills Village

What Life Skills Village does

Life Skills Village is a privately held outpatient rehabilitation and mental health facility headquartered in Oak Park, Michigan, serving patients from pediatrics to older adults across Southeast Michigan via in-person visits and telehealth. Founded in 2009 initially to treat individuals with traumatic and closed head injuries, the company has expanded into a multidisciplinary practice spanning occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, psychotherapy, pediatric therapy, vocational rehabilitation, neurorehabilitation, and neuropsychological/psychological evaluations. Specialized offerings include LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD programs for Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, pediatric social-skills group programs (Social Butterflies, Jitterbugs, Curious Caterpillars), and The Village Market — an in-facility social enterprise where clients sell handmade goods created during rehabilitation.

The company operates on a transdisciplinary care model in which neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, and psychotherapists collaborate on unified treatment plans tailored to individual patients. The clinical portfolio is supported by Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval accreditation (earned in 2022 after three years of preparation), positioning the facility at hospital-grade quality standards uncommon among outpatient competitors. Technology infrastructure is conventional healthcare IT: AdvancedMD for the patient portal and GetReferralMD for physician referral management. Distribution is sales-led, driven primarily by physician and healthcare provider referrals managed through the online portal, supplemented by self-referrals accepted for mental health services and an in-house intake team handling inbound inquiries.

Revenue is generated predominantly through insurance billing across a broad payor mix (BCBS, Medicare, United Healthcare, HAP, Priority Health, Wellcare, Ambetter, Workers' Compensation, and Auto No-Fault), with self-pay options for uninsured patients and direct patient fees for group programs. The company employs 11-50 staff across clinical, administrative, billing, marketing, and business development functions, and is planning expansion to a second Michigan location in Southfield.
