This month, we highlight the importance of compassion, specialized support, and respect for those affected by Brain Injuries. Not all care home residents are elderly – some are younger individuals receiving care and support due to injuries from accidents, strokes or medical conditions where the family cannot provide adequate daily care and support needed. Some individuals recover, however live with daily challenges for the simple daily tasks we take for granted. It is important we recognize and understand the severity, needs and challenges for those affected as it can impact memory, mobility, as well as communication and speech.
