Brain Injury Support & Care in Essex

Talk to us

At Butterflys, we understand that those living with brain injuries often require specialist care and regular supervision. Therefore, it is important that those who need to access the right care and resources can do so. At Butterflys Care Group, we pride ourselves on giving expert care to those living with brain injuries across Essex and, therefore, ensuring that all of our care receivers experience the best quality of life possible.

Understanding Acquired Brain Injuries

An acquired brain injury refers to any type of brain injury that happens after birth. In Essex, somebody is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury approximately every 58 minutes. Typical types of acquired brain injuries include traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), strokes, brain tumours, anoxic episodes, haemorrhages, hypoxic-ischemic injuries (sometimes known as stagnant anoxia), meningitis and other infections.

Many of these types of brain injury will require a significant amount of care, some involving more specific requirements depending on the type of brain injury that has occurred. Brain injuries can also trigger several emotional responses, such as anxiety and depression, as well as inappropriate emotional reactions. This reflects the importance of receiving the right type of care for successful rehabilitation, managing symptoms or improving quality of life.

How We Can Help

At Butterflys, we have a team of dedicated care staff, known as ‘Champions’, who specialise in brain injury aftercare. Our Champions aim to help both patients and family carers, ensuring that the recipient of our care services receives the specific support they need, through holistic care plans, which give a personalised approach for every individual.

Butterfly's Care Homes offers personalised respite services for both residents and carers in Essex. We work closely with you and your dependent to give both of you the peace of mind you need to relax and recharge and allow you to take a break from primary care duties for flexible amounts of time.

Overnight Care:

Overnight care services are an essential component of comprehensive care for individuals with brain injuries, ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being during the night. These services are designed to provide continuous support and supervision, addressing any medical or personal needs that may arise after hours. Overnight care is particularly important for individuals with more severe brain injuries who may require close monitoring and assistance.

We offer walking night care, where the carer stays awake overnight to provide necessary care, and also sleeping night care, where the carer will assist with needs before bed, sleeping in the home overnight (but can be woken through the night if needed).
