Why choose daily disability support?
Around-the-clock care allows your loved one to remain in his or her home, while ensuring safety and promoting optimal well-being. In addition, carers offer a much more personalised plan of care with one-to-one support tailored to the status, conditions, preferences, hobbies and lifestyle of the individual.
What does An Acquired Brain Injury Mean?
An acquired brain injury pertains to a sudden occurrence of damage to the brain following birth. This may stem from various causes including traumatic incidents like severe blows or jolts, as well as conditions such as tumours, strokes, infections, or haemorrhages.
Common Causes and Symptoms?
An acquired brain injury can occur across all age groups, and our experienced carers are skilled at providing support tailored to diverse demographics. These injuries can result from various incidents such as falls, assaults, road accidents, or sporting mishaps. The severity and effects of the injury depend on its location and type.
In cases of mild acquired brain injury, individuals may encounter symptoms like concussion, brief loss of consciousness, dizziness, memory and concentration difficulties, headaches, mood swings, and sensitivity to light or sound.
For those with moderate to severe acquired brain injuries, symptoms may include confusion, agitation, slurred speech, convulsions, pupil dilation, loss of coordination, loss of bodily function control, intensified headaches, and bouts of nausea and vomiting.
Additionally, acquired brain injuries can lead to secondary issues like depression, anxiety, and various emotional responses, posing additional challenges for families coping with the aftermath.
Support to stay well and reablement
At Josben Care Services, our team of experienced care assistants is dedicated to providing support for both carers and their loved ones.
Medical research has highlighted the potential for individuals with acquired brain injuries to regain or acquire new skills, a process often referred to as reablement. Our tailored support is crafted with the goal of helping individuals maximise their potential for improvement, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives.
