Brain Injury Care Services by Homewatch CareGivers of McDonough

The brain, the most complex organ in the human body, serves as the control center for all bodily functions. When a brain injury occurs, the impact can range from minimal to severe, significantly affecting the individual's life. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to changes in behavior, social skills, self-esteem, and cognitive abilities, often causing frustration, anger, and motivational challenges for the individual affected.
