Acquired Brain Injury

An acquired brain injury can have a life changing impact on the person with the injury, their family and their wider social network.

At Expeditions Living we understand that managing the unexpected effects of sudden damage to the brain is emotionally and practically challenging for everyone concerned. Our care assistants provide high quality home care services to support individuals and their loved ones as they adjust to these changes.

Each person’s experience will be different. So, we listen carefully to what you want and create a bespoke care and support plan to help you achieve your goals. Your care assistants can help with:

  • Support to relearn basic life skills such as walking, talking and recognition
  • Personal care to keep you looking and feeling your best and to avoid damage to your skin
  • Assistance with making sure prescribed medicines are taken at the right time
  • Developing confidence towards greater independence and involvement in the local community
  • Keeping you healthy by providing nutritious meals
  • Child care support, especially helping children adjust to the changes in their relative
  • Help around the home
  • Respite care that carers can rely on for a well-earned rest
  • Emergency planning such as what to do if the main carer becomes ill

Our care assistants also provide much needed emotional support, such as a listening ear to share worries.
