Quality Care Rehab & Autism Center delivers exceptional behavioral and therapeutic services tailored to individuals with autism and related diagnoses in Macomb County. With a team of 80 therapists and support staff, they last year served more than 500 children and families through 20,000 therapy visits. To maintain these numbers, Quality Care Rehab & Autism Center is fueling its talent pipeline — starting apprenticeship programs and partnering with Michigan Works and Macomb Community College to offer tuition-free education and training that tackles the acute shortage of skilled professionals in their field. To date this has helped 26 individuals advance their careers, and by the end of 2025, an additional 25 apprentices will be established.
