Community Neurorehab

What Community Neurorehab does

Community NeuroRehab of Iowa (CNR) is a privately held, for-profit provider of community-based neurobehavioral rehabilitation services for individuals with acquired brain injuries, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Madrid, Iowa. The company operates a three-part service portfolio: (1) community-based residential neurobehavioral rehabilitation delivered through four to five small residential facilities embedded in actual neighborhoods across West Des Moines, Des Moines, Coralville/Iowa City (two sites), and Ames; (2) intermittent in-home rehabilitation supporting participants transitioning from residential care back to independent community living; and (3) coordinated care services that connect participants with ancillary clinical providers (occupational, speech, and physical therapy, neuropsychology, neurology, physiatry, psychiatry, and pain management). CNR employs a transdisciplinary treatment team model staffed predominantly by Certified Brain Injury Specialists (CBIS) and reports outcome metrics of 76% of residential participants discharging to a lower level of care and 73% of in-home participants discharging to community waiver supports.

The company's revenue model is a managed services and professional services mix funded primarily through Iowa Medicaid Community-Based Neurobehavioral Rehabilitation waiver programs and other healthcare coverage; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, with admissions initiated through case managers, healthcare professionals, families, and self-referrals, supported by an admissions assessment process and a CBIS-credentialed admissions team. The company has held continuous CARF Brain Injury Specialty Program accreditation since 2014 (currently valid through June 30, 2026) and maintains active licensure across all Iowa facilities, as evidenced by ongoing Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals surveys. CNR is led by CEO Thomas W. Brown, BS, CBIST, and signals of organizational expansion include an employment page referencing Community NeuroRehab of Oklahoma, suggesting multi-state footprint development.
