Expert Neurological care
Having a neurological disorder can affect people at any age, impacting a person’s quality of life and their ability to live life independently. But with our support, you should enjoy life to the full.Neurological conditions occur due to damage to the brain, spinal column, or nerves, through injury or illnesses and can begin at any time in your life. There are several neurological disorders and some can occur suddenly or gradually. The causes of neurological disorders many include traumatic head injury, stroke, and brain and spinal cancers. Others, such as epilepsy and faecal and urinary incontinence, may arise at any stage in a person’s life.
There are over 600 neurological disorders. They result in difficulties such as moving, speaking, swallowing, breathing, or learning. There may be problems with your memory, senses, or mood.
At Verity Healthcare, we understand that each person experiences their disease differently and symptoms may not occur in the same order and the disease may progress at different speeds. For example, neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy may occur at birth; others such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy develop in childhood, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease mainly affect older people.
While neurological disorders result in restricted lifestyle, with the necessary support, you and your loved ones should be able to live life to the full.

How we can help you at home
Verity Healthcare has many years’ experience of providing nurse-led care either visiting care where a carer will visit several times a day to support you and your loved ones or offer long term 24 hour live-in care for our clients with these complex neurological disorders.
We understand that each client manifests their condition in completely different ways so we do not have a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to care and support. Working in close partnership with the client, the client’s family, medical team, District Nursing service and other specialists, we have supported and enabled clients to remain in their own homes for the rest of their lives instead of going into unfamiliar surroundings such as residential care home or who might otherwise have had prolonged admissions to hospital.
Clients and their families from diverse background and with different needs have found enormous comfort with the quality of care that we provide, which goes far beyond anything they could expect elsewhere. Our aim is to enable and encourage our clients develop their abilities while assisting them with things which are more difficult.
Many of our carers have a nursing background and with extensive experience. Our nurses are registered with the Royal Nursing Council. Both the carers and the nursing staff are well trained to help our clients with neurological disorders. Our compliance officer visit you and your loved one at home to ensure that staff are offering first-class care.
