Support at home after a brain injury
Structure, reminders, and a steady presence from one consistent caregiver, so the person can rebuild routines and the family gets a break.
Rebuilding daily life after a brain injury
A brain injury, from a fall, a car accident, a stroke, or an illness, can affect memory, attention, planning, energy, and mood. Some people also have physical changes. The person may look the same and still find ordinary days much harder.
Consistency matters. One familiar caregiver, a predictable routine, and calm, simple cues help a lot. We match for personality as carefully as for skills, and a coordinator keeps the plan steady.
How a caregiver can help
- A predictable daily routine, with calendars, checklists, and reminders
- Cueing and support with personal care, meals, and household tasks
- Practising the strategies the rehab team has taught
- Rest breaks and a quieter home when energy or patience runs low
- Company in the community: errands, programs, and appointments, where arranged
- Supervision for safety, including overnight if needed
- Respite for family members who have taken on a new role
Rehabilitation, behaviour support, and medical care stay with the rehab team and doctor. Our caregivers provide non-medical support and follow their plan.

What families ask about brain injury care at home
Auto insurance in Ontario may cover attendant care after an accident, depending on the policy and the assessment. Ask your case manager or lawyer what your claim covers before care starts.
That is the goal. Familiarity matters a great deal after a brain injury, so we match one main caregiver and introduce a backup before they are needed.
Yes. Tell us the goals at the assessment, and we plan support that encourages the person to do what they can themselves, following the rehab team's approach.
