Brain Injury Care in West Los Angeles, CA

Compassionate, Professional Home Care Support for Brain Injury Recovery

The brain serves as the central hub for our physical and mental functions, playing a pivotal role in how we engage with our surroundings. When a brain injury occurs, it can substantially disrupt an individual's everyday life, with the effects varying based on the injury's severity and the specific brain areas affected.

Adjusting to life post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) brings several hurdles. Individuals may exhibit behavioral shifts, weakened social skills, diminished coping mechanisms, and lowered confidence. Visible symptoms might encompass frustration, irritability, anger, denial, or a lack of motivation.

Brain injury frequently results in cognitive impairments, influencing decision-making, organization, and planning abilities. These challenges may manifest as:

• Difficulties with short-term and long-term memory
• Issues with concentration and focus
• Struggles with performing activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)
