What Is An Acquired Brain Injury?

An Acquired Brain Injury (also known as an ABI) is any form of brain injury that has happened since a person was born. Typical causes of an ABI might be a car accident, a fall, brain tumours or a stroke. It is often associated with an impact trauma but this isn’t always the case. The condition is not hereditary, degenerative or congenital.

Some Of The Symptoms Of An ABI:

  • Fatigue and tiredness.

  • Disturbed sleep.

  • Regular headaches or migraines.

  • Limited movement capabilities.

  • Co-ordination issues.

  • Weakness in the limbs.

  • Seizures and epilepsy.

  • Emotional & behavioural changes.

  • Anxiety and/or depression.

  • Memory loss.

  • Learning and information processing difficulties.

  • Vision issues.

  • Incontinence.

  • Difficulties with everyday tasks.

Treatments for An Acquired Brain Injury:

Your doctors or consultants should have put plans in place which can be followed at home.

Typically, this will be focused on neuro-rehabilitation which covers many aspects including physical and cognitive skills, behaviour, communication, social interaction,  emotional learning and support.

These treatments may span from a few weeks or months up to several years. It’s important for you to understand that you and your loved ones can arrange for ABI home care as and when you need it, for as long as you need it: From a few hours a week to around-the-clock care.

How Our Home Carers Help With ABI’s

Treatment for an ABI can be multi-faceted and each case will require a unique approach to ensure correct rehabilitation. Our home carers will help with this.

The Great Care Company works closely with your medical advisors and follows their advice to ensure an effective program of treatment is followed. It can often be difficult for loved ones to physically or emotionally carry out the process of neuro-rehabilitation and having dedicated carers in your home provides the support you need to feel more confident.

We understand all aspects of Acquired Brain Injuries and the complications that come with them. The condition affects everyone around the person with the injury and support is often as much about the relatives and friends as it is about the person. We can arrange for ABI home carers to come to you across Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. This award-winning service is unique to each client based on their medical assessment and requirements for care.

No two cases are ever the same and ABIs often come with secondary health considerations, so each client has a completely custom care program built just for them.

Our unique carer-pairing system means that we not only find the best-qualified staff but also suit each carer to those in their care, ensuring you will feel comfortable and at ease with the person who will be visiting your home.

Acquired Brain Injuries can make life challenging at times. It’s ok to admit that you need some help and seek out a company like ours: Which is ready to work with you to make life that bit easier and more enjoyable. You simply need to get in touch and chat with our friendly team.

Who We Can Help?

ABIs can be incredibly complex and treatment can span a few weeks or months. Please feel assured that The Great Care Company can have confident, competent carers available as and when you need them.

ABI home care is ideal for: 

  • Finding immediate assistance that may be required for a few weeks up to several years.

  • Persons over the age of 18 (or their loved ones) who require help with neuro-rehabilitation.

  • Family members and friends who have taken on the care role may need a break for themselves.

  • Aiding with physical needs that can be quite demanding for loved ones.

  • Helping with medical treatments or drug administration.

  • Planning days and times for home visits.

  • Prescription pick-ups and applying medication or treatments.

  • Help with daily tasks around the home such as cleaning, cooking, washing or shopping.

  • Ensuring that families and loved ones can stay together, including pets.

  • Creating routines and finding ways to be more independent and feel more able.

  • Having a team behind you with your best interests in mind, will help every step of the way to make you feel confident.

  • Carers that support you and your loved ones emotionally as well as physically.

ABIs can change lives dramatically. Often, loved ones will become carers as people with ABIs will need to re-learn basic skills or adapt to a new way of doing things. Please know that The Great Care Company understands and will find a way to provide affordable Acquired Brain Injury home carers for you.

What Can ABI Home Carers Do?

Help With Personal Hygiene

Being clean makes us feel better. It can be a bit awkward having our loved ones assist with this so our carers will help with dignity and respect.

Support: Physically and Emotionally

Caring for loved ones with ABIs can be a difficult journey. Our carers support not only the person directly affected but also their loved ones.

Rehabilitation, Treatments & Medication

We follow all medical advice to ensure every procedure is adhered to and carried out as it should be, when it should be.

Meal Planning & Cooking

Eating can feel like the last thing we want to do. We can help with everything from meal planning, shopping & cooking to washing up & putting away the dishes.

Rest For Family & Friends

It’s so important that loved ones who may be doing all they can to care for you get a break too. Our carers are here to give you that opportunity, even if it’s just for a few hours.

Providing The Best ABI Care

ABIs are a specialist area for care and require very specific attention. We understand this and offer tailored care that is designed for every client and their unique needs.

Assisting With Your Pets.

Unlike other options, such as care homes, our home carers allow you to keep your pets, and, if needed, we will help to look after them, with feeding, cleaning up and walkies.

Ticking All The Boxes

Our award-winning care service is geared up specifically for each client in our care. Getting in touch is completely free and we’ll work with you to develop a care plan that suits you and your budget.

What Are The Pros & Cons Of ABI Care At Home?

It’s important to think about what is best for you and your loved ones before committing to anything.

Advantages

  • Being at home means minimum disruption and feeling most at ease.

  • The Great Care Company have developed a unique process of matching carers to clients, ensuring you feel comfortable with them being around.

  • Home care means there are no restrictions for access to loved ones and pets.

  • You control the services you want, the days you want them and the hours you’d like carers to come to your home.

  • Home carers work hard so you can enjoy a better quality of life and concentrate on the things you enjoy as well as the things that matter the most.

  • It’s important to feel confident and independent. Home care allows you to do as much as you are able to.

  • When your loved ones take up the role of carer, it often means they have to do physically or emotionally challenging tasks. Our home carers can help with those.

  • Home care allows your daily routines to continue without conforming to other people’s rules.

  • Our professional carers respect your personal space, dignity & privacy.

  • Emotional support & mental health awareness is something we train our staff to be mindful of when dealing with all manner of long-term health issues.

  • Our custom service can work to almost any budget, making it much more affordable than around-the-clock care homes.

  • Each client in our care is unique and each plan created for them reflects that.

  • We work with you and your loved ones to ensure everyone feels confident and happy in the roles they have.

  • An advantage of experienced care staff is their ability to identify when a condition escalates or changes. This means that immediate action can be taken and you have a second opinion if you’re ever unsure about the best course of action.

  • Home carers support your loved ones as well as you.

  • Your quality of life is the most important thing. You should enjoy every moment possible and the care staff can help with that.

Disadvantages

  • Home care is for people over the age of 18.

  • Secondary conditions such as severe learning disabilities or diabetes (for example) may require additional staff training. This should be conducted by the home care company at their own expense.

  • Any home care services are done in accordance with your medical diagnosis. Alternative therapies must be medically approved before any carer can conduct them.

  • ABIs are a serious condition and if health issues escalate then the home care company may have to advise on an alternative course of action that better suits your long-term health.

  • Homes sometimes require modifications for mobility and safety. This is something we can advise with and even help source a tradesman to carry out the work but our carers will not be able to assist with the installation.

  • Using specialised medical equipment may require further training for care staff. This should be arranged by the care company at their own expense.
