Brain Injury

Highly Specialist Brain Injury & rehabilitation support

After brain injury, life can become challenging and daunting for the person with the injury and their family. Sometimes people affected need round-the-clock specialist support to overcome this stressful time. Here at Community Care Experts, we provide specialist brain injury support. We have many years of experience supporting people with traumatic and non-traumatic brain injuries at home and in the community. 

 

At community Care Experts, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to supporting people with brain injury. Hence, we work closely with service users, families, friends, case managers, medical specialists, and rehabilitation teams to design bespoke person-centred care plans that meet individuals' unique rehabilitation goals and objectives. In addition, we embed our service users' neuro-rehabilitation activities into our care plans to help our service users to meet their day-to-day rehabilitation tasks and achieve their desired outcomes. As a result, our brain injury specialist service is exceptional and flexible and ensures that our service users reach their full potential.
​We will review care plans and risk assessments at least every three months and when needed. Any changes to service users' care needs will be immediately implemented and communicated to their care team.
