What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological condition affecting the brain, causing recurring seizures due to abnormal electrical activity.

Epilepsy is a complex neurological condition affecting approximately 630,000 people in the UK, equating to about one in every 100 individuals. Notably, one out of every four people who are newly diagnosed with epilepsy is over 65 years old. Seizures can vary significantly in type and severity, ranging from brief lapses in attention or muscle jerks to severe and prolonged convulsions. 

The causes of epilepsy are diverse, including genetic factors, head injuries, brain infections, and developmental disorders. Managing epilepsy involves a combination of medication, lifestyle adjustments, and sometimes surgery. Individuals with epilepsy must adhere to their treatment plan and attend regular check-ups with their GP to manage their condition effectively.

A day in the life with Anastasia

"Being there for someone with epilepsy is about more than care. It’s about ensuring they feel safe and supported, especially when things get tough. I love knowing that I can help with their daily routines and be there during emergencies. It’s a rewarding feeling to see them smile and live their life. At Tiggo Care, we're like family, always ready to lend a hand and make life easier."

The Benefits of Home Care for People with Epilepsy

Epilepsy home care provides crucial support for individuals with epilepsy, ensuring their safety and independence. While many individuals with epilepsy can live independently, there are times when professional care becomes essential, especially during emergencies where trained carers can administer medication promptly during prolonged seizures. This service is particularly beneficial for clients who have epilepsy alongside other medical conditions. 

Our carers can assist with personal care, medication routines, domestic tasks, meal preparation, and attending medical appointments. Home carers also provide companionship and support during social events. By offering a personalised care plan, we ensure your loved one's unique needs are met, maximising their overall well-being.

More reasons to choose Tiggo Care

Our Care packages are bespoke

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.

We're fully regulated

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

Our carers are fully vetted & trained

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.
