A comprehensive service for residents recovering from acquired brain injury and neurological disorders.
Our approach to care embraces the social, psychological and recreational needs of the service users which are integrated into their care plans.
Brain injuries can dramatically alter the lives of the injured person and their loved ones who care for them. At Select Healthcare, we understand that people with brain injuries need very specialised support and equipment and in our Brain Injury Units, we provide 24-hour care to people who have suffered varying types of brain injuries such as:
Acquired Brain Injuries - Also called an ABI, this type of brain injury is acquired after birth and can occur as a result of a stroke, infections, drug and alcohol abuse or tumours to name a few.
Traumatic Brain Injury - A TBI or traumatic brain injury is usually a result of a violent blow to the head or the head coming into contact with an object violently. This can be in the form of a car accident or an assault for example.
Neurological Disorders - Select Healthcare residential care homes for brain injuries and also care for people with conditions like Cerebral palsy and Muscular Dystrophy.
Our purpose-built residential care homes for people with brain injuries are located throughout the UK. The care homes are adapted to suit the needs of our residents and feature special facilities like sensory rooms and full wheelchair access. Select Healthcare have Brain Injury Units in Staffordshire, Shropshire, Wolverhampton, Norfolk, Greater Manchester and the West Midlands.
Our philosophy of care is structured through a programme of rehabilitation to, where appropriate, long-term support or planned discharge. The care provided is flexible and the care package is needs-led, to ensure structured and effective rehabilitation.
The care staff in our Brain Injury Units are fully trained and deliver a high standard of care which is based on thorough assessments and person-centred care planning. Care plans are regularly reviewed to ensure the most appropriate level of care is being applied and all relevant services and equipment are being accessed. Care is delivered through a multi-disciplinary team comprised of registered nurses, medical practitioners, rehabilitation assistants, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists and consultant neurologists.
Select Healthcare prides itself on creating a homely environment with an emphasis on social interaction and regular activities to stimulate the mind and body.
