Acquired Brain Injury, otherwise known as ABI is caused by damage to the brain after birth. These injuries are often non-traumatic and can be caused by strokes, tumors, hemorrhagic aneurysms, asphyxiation, encephalitis, and the effects of toxic substances, which is inflammation of the brain caused by infection. The effect of these processes is that the brain becomes starved of oxygen, causing irreparable brain cell damage (this is also known as hypoxia or hypoxic brain injury) that results in a need for brain injury help
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a result of damage to the brain caused by a severe blow or sudden impact, often as a result of an accident, fall, or assault that causes violent movement of the brain within the skull. Such blows and impacts lead to consequent bleeding and increased pressure within the enclosed skull and can often be more damaging, and treatment may be required for the brain injury. There is a high incidence of traumatic brain injury in young men between the ages of 17 and 24.
At Verity Healthcare, we offer compassionate, nurse-led home care to support you and your family after a brain injury.
Dealing with a brain injury can deeply affect not just the individual but the entire family. The recovery process can be overwhelming, creating immense stress for both those directly impacted and their loved ones. Many individuals require ongoing, 24/7 support during this challenging time.

At Verity Healthcare, our carers offer expert support and a comforting presence to those in the hospital.
Being admitted to the hospital following a brain injury can be an overwhelming and emotional experience, not only for the individual but for their entire family. While in hospital, it’s still possible to ensure your loved one receives the support they need.
Having a Verity Healthcare carer by their side during their hospital stay can provide essential assistance, companionship, and reassurance. It also offers you peace of mind, knowing that someone is looking after your loved one and even helping manage tasks at home.
Here are some of the practical ways our carers can provide support in a hospital setting:
Bring home comforts
You can ask your loved one’s carer to bring them anything they might need from your home to make their stay in hospital that bit more enjoyable
Look after pets
Your regular carer can feed, walk and take care of your loved one’s furry friends until you get home, rather than having to place them in a kennel
Do the housework
Your carer can make sure your loved one’s home is kept clean and fresh while they’re in hospital, ready for them to make a smooth return
Prepare food
A carer can enhance your loved one’s hospital stay by bringing them their favourite meals and nutritious snacks, in line with their treatment
Ensure a smooth discharge
Families often contact us when a loved one is being discharged from hospital, so we can continue the rehabilitation support as soon as they arrive home
Valued companionship
if there are days when family and friends are unable to visit, a carer can still pop in and give your loved one a friendly face to chat to

Additionally, we take feedback seriously – from both clients and families – to ensure that every care plan is working effectively and that you’re satisfied with the support you’re receiving.
At Verity Healthcare, we understand that the relationship between a carer and client is crucial. That’s why we take great care in matching our carers to clients based on a range of factors. We look at the level of care needed, specific health conditions, and personal preferences. For example, if you have a condition like dementia, we’ll match you with a carer who has specific training and experience in this area. We also consider personality traits and interests, as a positive relationship with a carer can greatly improve the overall experience. Our team takes the time to understand both the client’s and the carer’s needs to ensure compatibility. Once a match is made, we closely monitor the care relationship to make sure it’s working well and adjust it if needed.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) refers to any brain injury that occurs after birth and is not hereditary, congenital, or degenerative. It is typically caused by external events (such as a traumatic injury) or internal conditions (such as strokes, brain infections, or tumors).
ABIs can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): A blow or jolt to the head, often from falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or assaults.
Stroke: A disruption of blood flow to the brain, either due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke).
Brain Tumors: Abnormal growth of cells in the brain that can damage surrounding tissue.
Infections: Conditions like meningitis or encephalitis can lead to brain damage.
Lack of Oxygen: Events like cardiac arrest, near-drowning, or suffocation can result in brain injury due to oxygen deprivation.
Diagnosis of ABI usually involves:
A medical history review, including any events or conditions that might have led to the injury
Physical and neurological exams to assess brain function
Imaging tests such as CT scans or MRI scans to detect brain damage
Neuropsychological tests to evaluate cognitive functions like memory, attention, and problem-solving
Caregivers can help in various ways, including:
Assisting with physical tasks (e.g., mobility, dressing, grooming)
Managing medication schedules and appointments
Providing emotional support and encouragement
Helping the individual engage in rehabilitation exercises or therapies
Educating themselves about ABI to better understand the challenges their loved one faces
Home care for ABI individuals can include a range of services, such as:
Personal care assistance (e.g., help with dressing, bathing, or eating)
Mobility support (e.g., assistance with walking or transferring)
Medication management
Cognitive rehabilitation and support
Help with household tasks, like cooking or cleaning
Companionship and emotional support
