A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have large and lasting impact on a person’s life, often affecting their physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities.
Unlike acquired brain injuries caused by medical events such as a stroke, TBIs typically result from a sudden external force, commonly due to accidents, assaults or falls.
At Almond Care, we specialise in supporting individuals with complex neurological needs, including those recovering from TBIs.
Our experienced carers provide person-centred support that is tailored to each individual’s unique presentation, symptoms, and goals.
Who needs complex care after a traumatic brain injury?
Our expert carers work with individuals who may be living with a wide range of long-term effects following a TBI, including:
Cognitive and behavioural challenges
Many individuals experience memory loss, reduced attention span, or impaired decision-making following a TBI. Others may struggle with emotional regulation or changes in personality.
How we help:
- Supporting daily routines and memory aids
- Providing consistent, structured environments
- Encouraging emotional stability and positive behaviours
Physical and mobility impairments
Traumatic brain injuries can affect balance, coordination and muscle strength, making everyday activities more difficult.
How we help:
- Supporting mobility and transfers
- Assisting with physiotherapy and rehabilitation programmes
- Using safe manual handling techniques and equipment
Communication difficulties
A TBI may impair speech and language abilities, making it hard for individuals to express themselves or understand others.
How we help:
- Facilitating communication aids and techniques
- Working alongside speech and language therapists
- Encouraging social interaction and engagement
Complex medical needs
Some individuals may require ongoing medical support following a severe TBI, such as tracheostomy care, PEG feeding or seizure management.
How we help:
- Delivering nurse-led care with specialist clinical oversight
- Managing medications and monitoring symptoms
Provide expert care with specialist carers
At Almond Care, we understand that no two brain injuries are the same – so the care shouldn’t be either. We create bespoke care plans that evolve as the individual’s needs change, supporting both short-term recovery and long-term quality of life.
Our teams are highly trained in managing complex neurological conditions and deliver care with empathy, professionalism and consistency.
We work closely with case managers, therapists and families to ensure a joined-up approach to care, always putting the individual at the centre of every decision.
If you’re a case manager looking for reliable, person-focused care for a client with a traumatic brain injury, we’re here to help.
