Brain injuries impact each person differently. While the effects of brain injuries can be short-lived for some people, others might find they need a bit of extra support to settle back into their routines.
At Tiggo Care, we understand that a brain injury doesn’t just affect the individual but can change the lives of entire families. If your loved one has a moderate to severe brain injury you will most likely want them to receive care at home rather than moving them to a care home, which might be distressing and make it harder for them to maintain their relationships. A professionally trained care assistant from Tiggo Care can help your loved one stay at home while receiving the care they need to maintain their independence.
Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
A brain injury refers to sudden damage to the brain after birth. It can be caused by a traumatic incident, such as a knock to the head, or it can be acquired from an ongoing condition, such as a stroke, tumour, infection or haemorrhage.
A brain injury can occur at any age and can vary in severity. Those with a mild injury might experience problems with learning, memory, concentration, and problem-solving. People with moderate to severe brain injuries might experience the symptoms of mild injury as well as:
This type of injury is also associated with mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety.
"A day in my life is very unpredictable and yet fulfilling at the same time. Most days are really good, especially when at the end of my day my client is completely comfortable with everything I have done to help them. However, other days are a little more work, particularly when dealing with episodes of confusion. It always helps to remember that my client is also human and has good and bad days just as I do."
Home is the best place to receive care for people with brain injuries. By remaining at home your loved one can maintain relationships with people who are important to them in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. Regular care visits from a professionally trained carer or support from a live-in care assistant can help with adherence to rehabilitation programs and support with tasks around the home that your loved one is finding more challenging.
The exact tasks your loved one’s care assistant will help with will depend on the symptoms they’re experiencing. We’ll create a bespoke care plan with you and your loved one that outlines these tasks with clearly defined goals so they can live the way they want to as independently as possible.

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Most brain injuries do not get worse over time and many people can make a full recovery. However, in some cases brain injuries can get progressively worse and where this is suspected it is important to follow the guidance of your doctor to slow the progression.
An acquired brain injury is an injury of the brain caused by a medical condition, such as a stroke or brain tumour.
The exact care required will depend on the severity of the brain injury and their symptoms. If the person has a moderate to severe brain injury they might need help from a professional carer who can assist them with their rehabilitation and daily activities.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury of the brain caused by physical trauma, such as an accident or neurosurgery.
