Case Management and Brain Injury Rehabilitation Services
Our principle aims are to assist people with an acquired brain injury and or other long term health conditions to:
- optimise functioning
- maximise independence
- re-establish social roles
- enjoy a full and meaningful life
High Quality Case Management
We coordinate and integrate rehabilitation and reablement services & supports for people with complex and long term health conditions. We specialise in acquired brain injury. We provide a targeted, community based and proactive approach that involves assessment, planning and care coordination. Effective implementation improves the experience of users, families and carers through the use of the most appropriate and successful strategies to deliver optimal quality of life outcomes.
We have an extensive portfolio of cases providing a range of services. We continue to receive instructions to:
- Conduct Immediate Needs Assessments.
- Set up and monitor rehabilitation and support packages during the litigation process.
- Manage long-term complex care packages (including 24hr care) on behalf of Deputyships.
Planning Community Rehabilitation
A Therapeutic Relationship
Building positive relationships accounts for more variance in treatment outcomes than any other characteristic. The therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in achieving positive rehabilitation outcomes. A Case Manager should become the 'go to' person.
Planning for the Future
People often need support to live their life their own way even when they need assistance to understand what may be realistic and reasonable to do this. We help people develop the requisite skills and roles to pursue their identity, interests, hopes and ambitions despite their impairments.
Interdisciplinary Working
Our Case Management coordinates an approach where professionals, families and significant others work interdependently in the pursuit of commonly agreed outcomes. there is one team that knows where it is going, what needs to be done, who is doing what and what will be achieved.
Person Centred Risk
- Involve the person's complete circle of support
- Positive and informed risk taking
- Proportionality - management of risk matches the gravity of potential harm
- Contextualising behaviour - gathering a complete and accurate history
- Defensible decision making
- Taking tolerable risks
Contingency Planning
Contingency planning is an integral aspect of community based rehabilitation programmes. It is a proactive process for creating strategies to help prepare for scenarios that can affect rehabilitation packages regardless of the likelihood of occurrence. It outlines beforehand, the support strategies required in the event of a crisis arising.
Capable Environments
Many of the problems caused by an acquired brain injury cannot readily be 'fixed'. By moving the focus from treatment to the creation of enabling and capable environments, people can be supported to lead full and meaningful lives, with as much independence, social integration and self-determination as possible. Capable environments minimise disability and maximise social roles.
