Brain Injury Care in Houston, TX

Compassionate and Professional Care for Brain Injury Recovery at Home

The brain is the core of our physical and mental capabilities, playing a vital role in our daily lives. A brain injury can significantly alter one’s day-to-day experiences, largely depending on the injury's nature and the specific areas of the brain involved. 

Adapting to life after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) presents various challenges. Individuals may experience changes in behavior, reduced social interactions, weakened coping strategies, and lowered self-esteem. Signs that may be noticeable include frustration, irritability, denial, and a lack of motivation. 

Brain injuries often lead to cognitive impairments impacting decision-making, organization, and planning skills. These challenges can appear as: 

• Difficulties with memory—both short-term and long-term
• Struggles in maintaining attention and focus
• Problems completing daily living activities (ADLs) and other instrumental activities of daily life (IADLs)
