Brain injury care at home

Acquired brain injury home care, tailored to you.

At Novus Care, we know how disruptive a brain injury can be. For the patient and their family, it means adjusting to a new reality and new routines. It means embarking on a long journey of rehabilitation. And often, it means facing unexpected personality changes.

It’s difficult for everyone. That’s why we provide person-centred care that focuses on rehabilitation and support for the whole family. With expert in-home care from highly trained carers, you can focus on living fulfilling lives together in the surroundings you know and love.

And because every brain injury and every person is different, our care is tailored to you. As an experienced acquired brain injury care provider, we deliver flexible support that ties into long-term rehabilitation plans and adapts as your needs change. It’s all about making sure you can enjoy the best possible quality of life while receiving the one-to-one support you deserve.

What is brain injury care?

Brain injury care means tailored, specialist support for people living with acquired brain injuries. That can include people living with the aftereffects of stroke, head trauma, infections, brain tumours and haematomas.

The road to rehabilitation after a brain injury can be long and complex – and it looks different for everyone. That’s why it’s crucial to get bespoke support that considers a person’s physical, cognitive and mental health, as well as their communication and mobility needs.

At Novus Care, we specialise in brain injury care at home. That means providing valuable practical and emotional support for day-to-day living. This type of care is sometimes known as ‘acquired brain injury home care’ or ‘traumatic brain injury home care’, depending on the type of injury sustained.

Home care for brain injuries: what are my options?

Brain injury live-in care

Our brain injury live-in care service makes sure that dedicated, one-to-one support is always available. One of our carers will move into the home and provide 24/7 care and support. Families often choose this option when they need long-term care for brain injury patients with complex and developing needs.

Visiting brain injury care at home

Do you need extra help at home from time to time? Our flexible visiting care service makes sure you can get the one-to-one support you need with minimal disruption to your usual routine. That might mean one visit weekly or multiple visits each day – whatever suits you best.

Respite home care for brain injuries

Respite care means temporary care. Clients often choose this option when a family carer needs to take a break or when extra support is needed after hospital treatment. In any case, we’ll step in to make sure the person living with a brain injury continues to receive high-quality, one-to-one support.

Overnight brain injury care

We know that living with a traumatic brain injury can affect sleep – and it can be more difficult when you don’t have support at night. With overnight home care, you’ll have a trusted person around from evening until the early hours. That means extra peace of mind for the whole family.

Not sure which type of care is best for you? We can help. Get in touch with our team today and we’ll start putting together an acquired brain injury home care plan tailored to your unique needs.

Our approach to acquired brain injury home care

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to caring for someone with a brain injury. Everyone is different.

That’s why we provide bespoke, flexible care from highly trained carers. They’re a dedicated source of support – through daily life, with mental and physical health, and during your journey of rehabilitation. By tailoring their care to you and supporting your whole family, they give you the best chance of living a fulfilling life at home.

And having the right support at home is important. Medical evidence has shown that people with brain injuries can regain skills or learn new ones – especially when they receive tailored support early on. We focus on providing structured, long-term care for brain injury patients at home because we believe that comfortable, familiar surroundings can make all the difference.

Your brain injury care questions answered

What is an acquired brain injury?

An acquired brain injury is any brain injury that happens after a person is born. That can include traumatic brain injuries (from head trauma, for example), as well as internal injuries caused by conditions like stroke, hypoxia and brain tumours.

Acquired brain injuries can be particularly distressing for the person affected and their families. That’s because they often lead to emotional and behavioural changes. Our experienced carers can help survivors and their families navigate these difficulties, work towards rehabilitation and live fulfilling lives together at home.

What is a traumatic brain injury care plan?

A traumatic brain injury care plan is a tailored programme of support for a person living with a traumatic brain injury. It can include help managing medication, mobility assistance and emotional support, as well as help with daily living. It also typically includes support with physiotherapy, speech therapy, self-care skills and other rehabilitation therapies.

At Novus Care, all our clients get a unique care plan that’s 100% tailored to their needs. We’ll work alongside your medical team to help manage your recovery, enhance your independence and improve your quality of life.

Who pays for brain injury live-in care?

It depends. Some families fund care from their own income or savings. Others are eligible for outside support, such as NHS Continuing Healthcare or social care funding from their local council. Learn more about ways to fund home care.
