People who’ve suffered from this type of brain injury must make significant adjustments in their daily living. When we provide care to injured people, we understand the need for the flexibility to adapt to those changes along with them.

The level of recovery will depend on the application of the appropriate treatment for the given injury. Although there is no set protocol for treatment, we take an individualized approach to the care we provide.

This approach addresses the physical and emotional elements that contribute to a person’s well-being. Because brain injuries can lead to weakness and decreased range of motion, we provide the assistance needed for personal care, dressing, hygiene, and the daily activities of normal function.

People typically experience problems with memory and other cognitive abilities when suffering form this injury. Their behaviour can change dramatically, creating challenges for family members who must cope with these unexpected changes. Difficulty in expressing feelings can make it frustrating for everyone as a person’s moods may shift suddenly.

Because of the effects of acquired brain injuries, the right care must include many different components for successful treatment. Homecare for people with acquired brain injury will be a vital component to ensure that they rehabilitate in their functional capacity.

Like other cognitive issues, acquired brain injuries can present major challenges for families, and cause frustration and a sense of vulnerability for those who suffer effects of acquired brain injury. Having a system of care and support in place will ensure that clients restore their sense of independence as they make their way through the healing process.

These injuries also affect relationships, the home, and many other aspects of a person’s life. Our personal support workers can help create an environment that helps transition individuals and their families into a new way of living to bring them an increased level of comfort and care.
