How home care helps
An acquired or traumatic brain injury (ABI) can affect memory, concentration, energy, mood and physical ability, and no two are the same. Our role is practical, everyday support at home (routine, gentle prompting and supervision) that keeps to the goals and approaches your rehabilitation team has set.
The help that makes the biggest difference
Routine and structure
Predictable days, familiar faces and gentle structure that make tasks easier and the day calmer after a brain injury.
Prompting and supervision
Cues and reminders that support planning, initiation and everyday tasks, with the right level of supervision for safety and confidence.
Support with the rehab goals
We are not a therapy service, but we keep to the goals and strategies your rehabilitation team has set, so they carry through the week at home.
Calm, behaviour-aware care
Patient, consistent carers who follow the agreed approach to changes in mood or behaviour, keeping things calm and dignified.
Personal care and daily living
Gentle help with washing, dressing, meals and getting out and about, building independence at the person’s own pace.
Worried about cost? Care starts from £26 an hour
Your first home visit is free, with no obligation. Many families get help through their council, NHS Continuing Healthcare or Attendance Allowance. Our funding guide explains the routes in plain English. Funding routes include your council, NHS Continuing Healthcare and Attendance Allowance, explained in plain English at the free home visit.
See funding optionsCare that adapts as needs change
Needs after a brain injury change over time, so the care changes too, from a few hours of support to live-in care, kept with the same small, familiar team. If needs become clinical, such as tracheostomy or ventilator support, our nurse-led team can step up (see our complex & clinical care), so support continues with one trusted provider.

We work around everyone involved: your GP, the community rehabilitation team, physiotherapist, occupational therapist and psychologist. We keep to their goals and approaches and report progress clearly. Therapy stays with your therapists and medicines with your GP; we support both by keeping daily life consistent.

Brain injury care at home: common questions
Do you follow the rehabilitation team’s goals?
Yes. We take the goals and approaches set by your rehabilitation team and keep to them day to day at home, reporting progress clearly so everyone stays aligned.
Can care be funded through a personal-injury settlement?
Sometimes. Alongside council, NHS Continuing Healthcare and Attendance Allowance, some families fund care through a personal-injury or medico-legal settlement. We can talk through the options at the free home visit.
Can you support changes in mood or behaviour?
Yes. Carers are patient and consistent, and follow the agreed approach for changes in mood or behaviour, which helps keep the day calm, safe and dignified for everyone.
How quickly can brain injury care start?
Often within days of your free home visit, and faster when a discharge is time-critical. Tell us the situation and we will be honest about what we can put in place and when.
Will it cost us, or can it be funded?
Care starts from £26 an hour, with a free first home visit. Help may come through your council, NHS Continuing Healthcare or Attendance Allowance. Our funding guide explains the routes.
After a brain injury, routine and familiar faces do the heavy lifting. We keep the team small and consistent, and we hold to the goals the rehab team has set.
