Brain injury care
Exceptional care for brain injuries at home for over 60 years
Brain injury care
Caring for a loved one who has endured a brain injury can be an overwhelming and upsetting experience. At Consultus Care and Nursing, we understand the complexities and difficulties that come with this journey. Our aim is to provide highly personalised live-in care that ensures your loved one receives the professional support they need in the comfort of their own home. With our dedicated and compassionate carers by their side, your loved one can continue to live with dignity, surrounded by familiar routines and a comforting environment, essential to their recovery and well-being.
What is a brain injury?
A brain injury is any damage to the brain that impairs its function, and it can happen suddenly as a result of trauma (such as a fall or car accident), stroke, or an illness. Brain injuries can range from mild to severe, with symptoms varying widely depending on the area of the brain affected and the extent of the damage. Common forms of brain injuries include traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), acquired brain injuries (ABIs), and strokes. Each type of brain injury presents unique challenges, affecting cognition, memory, communication, physical abilities, and emotional well-being.
While the effects of a brain injury can be life-altering, both for the individual and their family, with the right care and support, it is possible to enhance recovery and quality of life. Our live-in care service provides a dedicated carer who is experienced in supporting individuals with brain injuries, helping them to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Caring for different types of brain injuries
Every brain injury is unique, and the level of care needed will vary based on the severity of the injury and its long-term effects. Our carers are trained to provide tailored care that reflects the individual needs of your loved one.
Different stages of brain injury recovery
The recovery journey following a brain injury can be unpredictable, with periods of improvement and then potential setbacks. We are here to support your loved one through every stage of their recovery, providing the care and support they need to live as independently and comfortably as possible.
How does brain injury care at home support your loved one?
At Consultus Care and Nursing, our live-in brain injury care service is designed to provide both practical assistance and emotional support, ensuring that your loved one has the best possible chance of recovery and enjoys a good quality of life. Our carers work closely with you and your family to develop a bespoke care plan that evolves as your loved one’s condition improves or changes.
Our brain injury care at home typically includes:
Personal care: Assistance with daily activities such as washing, dressing, and grooming, ensuring your loved one maintains their personal hygiene and dignity.
Rehabilitation support: Our carers work alongside healthcare professionals to assist with rehabilitation exercises that are key to the recovery process.
Medication management: Our carers are trained in medications management. They ensure medications are taken on time, prescriptions are available when needed and medication regimes are closely monitored and managed, with oversight from a Care Consultant local to you.
Nutritional support: Our carers can plan and cook healthy, balanced meals tailored to your loved one’s dietary needs, supporting their overall health and recovery.
Mobility assistance: Whether your loved one needs help with walking, moving in and out of bed, or using mobility aids, our carers are trained to offer safe and supportive mobility assistance.
Emotional support: Brain injuries can lead to significant emotional changes, such as depression, frustration, or anxiety. Our carers provide compassionate companionship, offering reassurance and understanding throughout the recovery process.
Benefits of live-in brain injury care
Many people believe if they have acquired a brain injury that to get the care they need, they have to move into a residential care home or specialist facility. Live in care is a real alternative, and offers many unique benefits to those recovering from or living with a brain injury.
How we provide brain injury care at home
At Consultus Care and Nursing, we offer two distinct live-in care services for those living with a brain injury. We are committed to ensuring our clients receive the right level of care that meets their needs, whilst providing choice as to how their care arrangement is managed.
Managed live-in care
Our fully managed live-in care service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, which results in regular inspections to ensure the care we provide is of the highest standard. We fully manage the service, which means carers are supervised, managed and monitored by us when working in a client’s home.
