Understanding your needs
Brain injury changes lives.
Care should adapt.
An acquired brain injury (ABI) may follow a head injury, stroke or another neurological event, while a traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from an external injury. The effects vary widely, so acquired brain injury home care starts with understanding the person's abilities, current clinical instructions and day-to-day goals.
For independent information, see Headway's guide to acquired brain injury. If someone has symptoms after a recent head injury, follow NHS head injury guidance; care at home does not replace urgent medical attention.
Its effects can include changes to movement, memory, communication, concentration, fatigue, behaviour and emotional wellbeing. Some people need occasional practical assistance; others require ongoing support with more complex health or daily living needs.
Effective home care begins with an individual assessment. Our role is to work with the person, their family and relevant professionals to understand what support is appropriate, how it fits into familiar routines and when needs should be reviewed.
✓Support centred on what matters to the individual
✓Respect for communication needs and personal preferences
✓Plans that can respond when circumstances change
Practical care. Meaningful support.
What specialist brain injury care at home may include
Specialist brain injury care can combine practical day-to-day assistance, communication support, mobility planning and appropriately assessed clinical tasks. Nurse-led oversight helps coordinate care needs with the person's established medical and rehabilitation professionals.
Traumatic brain injury support at home should reflect the person's abilities, any agreed rehabilitation goals and relevant clinical advice. Support may change over time, so reviews are an important part of safe, personalised care.

Mobility & physical assistance
Individualised help with safe movement, positioning and practical activities where appropriate, following assessment, risk management and advice from relevant clinical professionals.
03 / 06
Cognitive & communication needs

04 / 06
Complex nursing needs
For people with additional clinical requirements, our nurse-led team can explore whether appropriately trained staff and a suitable care plan can support those needs safely at home.
05 / 06
Family & carer support
Clear communication, agreed responsibilities and planned support that recognises family involvement and the practical pressures that relatives and unpaid carers may experience.
06 / 06
Community & independence
Support to maintain meaningful activities, social connections and achievable personal goals, with care arrangements guided by individual capabilities and professional recommendations.
Care beyond a diagnosis
Nurse-led brain injury care that respects individual goals
Changes following a brain injury are not always immediately visible. Someone may manage one activity independently but find another tiring or difficult. The best care arrangement recognises this variation and stays sensitive to how someone feels on different days.
Our focus is practical, consistent support that works alongside the wider care or rehabilitation plan. Where specialist therapy is needed, it is provided by appropriately qualified professionals rather than assumed to be part of routine home care.
Fatigue & daily routinesHelping structure activities, rest and predictable routines in line with assessed needs.
Confidence & independenceEncouraging safe participation and choice in tasks that matter to the person.
Communication & reassuranceTaking time, listening carefully and adapting the way information is shared.
How care begins
How personalised brain injury home care is arranged
Brain injury can affect concentration, fatigue, emotional wellbeing and relationships in different ways. A flexible plan considers the whole person, including the environment, risks and meaningful daily activities. Traumatic brain injury support must be individually assessed and work alongside appropriate medical and rehabilitation advice.

Answers for families
Brain injury care at home: questions answered
Practical answers to help you understand what support at home may involve and how to begin the conversation.
What is brain injury care at home?
Brain injury care at home is individualised support with everyday activities and, where appropriate, additional complex care needs following an acquired or traumatic brain injury. The specific assistance depends on an assessment of the person's preferences, abilities and health requirements.
Who may benefit from specialist brain injury care at home?
People who experience changes in mobility, communication, memory, behaviour, fatigue or daily routines after a brain injury may benefit from tailored assistance. Whether a particular care arrangement is suitable depends on the individual's needs and the support the provider can safely deliver.
Can support be arranged for acquired or traumatic brain injuries?
Both acquired and traumatic brain injuries can create different care needs. Revive Rise can discuss the person's circumstances and assess whether appropriate home care support can be arranged. Not every clinical or rehabilitation requirement can be delivered by a home care service.
What daily activities might a support worker help with?
Depending on assessed needs, support can include personal care, meals, establishing routines, practical mobility assistance, communication and access to meaningful daily activities. Specific tasks and any clinical interventions must be agreed within the care plan.
How is an individual brain injury care plan developed?
A care plan follows a discussion and appropriate assessment of the person's goals, routines, abilities, risks and health needs. Relevant family members and professionals may be involved with consent, and the plan can be reviewed when circumstances change.
Can brain injury home care begin after hospital discharge?
Discharge-related care may be considered where a safe plan, appropriate staff and the necessary coordination are in place. Timing depends on the person's needs, professional recommendations and service availability; planning should ideally begin before discharge.
How does nurse-led oversight support complex care?
Nurse-led oversight can contribute to assessments, individual care planning, staff guidance and review of relevant clinical needs. It does not replace treatment by the person's GP, specialist or rehabilitation team.
Can family members take part in care planning?
Yes, where the individual wishes and relevant consent is in place, family members can share useful information about daily routines, communication preferences and what matters to the person. Their involvement can help continuity and clarity.
Can a brain injury care arrangement change over time?
Care arrangements should be reviewed when the person's needs, circumstances or goals change. Any change in care tasks or clinical requirements may require another assessment, updated planning and confirmation that suitable staffing is available.
How do I enquire about brain injury care at home?
Contact Revive Rise using the enquiry form or call 0333 004 9953. Explain the kind of assistance required and the care setting; the team can discuss whether an individual assessment would be appropriate.
