Brain Injury Care in Northridge, CA

Compassionate and Professional Home Care for Brain Injury Recovery

The brain serves as the central hub for our physical and mental capacities, deeply influencing our daily interactions. Experiencing a brain injury can profoundly disrupt an individual's life, contingent on the injury's severity and the brain regions affected.

Adapting to life post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) entails numerous hurdles. Individuals may exhibit behavioral changes, diminished social skills, reduced coping mechanisms, and a drop in self-esteem. Observable signs might include frustration, irritability, denial, and a lack of motivation.

Brain injuries frequently result in cognitive deficits that affect decision-making, organizational skills, and planning abilities. These issues may manifest as:

  • Challenges with short-term and long-term memory
  • Difficulties in maintaining concentration and focus
  • Issues in carrying out activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)
