Acquired Brain Injury Care
Acquired Brain Injury Care at Home in Bromsgrove & Redditch
An acquired brain injury can change life in an instant. It may be caused by a stroke, an accident, a fall, a brain tumour, an infection or another medical condition. Whatever the cause, adjusting to these changes can be difficult for the person living with the injury and for those closest to them.
Specialist acquired brain injury care that helps you live life at home
At Bluebird Care Bromsgrove & Redditch, we’re here to support you through those changes.
Our specialist home care helps adults living with an acquired brain injury stay in the comfort of their own home. A place where routines feel familiar and family, friends and neighbours are close by.
Every person’s needs, goals and recovery will be different. That’s why we take the time to understand what matters to you and create a care plan around the support you need.
Because, as everyone knows, it’s good to be home.
What is an acquired brain injury?
An acquired brain injury (ABI) is damage to the brain that happens after birth.
It can occur suddenly following an accident or illness and may affect the way someone thinks, communicates, moves or carries out everyday activities.
Some people make a good recovery over time.
Others may need ongoing support with daily living.
The effects of an acquired brain injury vary from person to person and may include:
Changes in mobility
Memory difficulties
Reduced concentration
Problems with speech or communication
Fatigue
Changes in behaviour or emotions
Reduced confidence
Difficulty managing everyday tasks
No two people experience an acquired brain injury in the same way.
That’s why we take time to understand each person’s needs before care begins.
Home care that fits around your life
Living with an acquired brain injury doesn’t always mean moving into residential care.
With the right support, many people can continue living safely and comfortably at home.
Our Care Professionals work alongside customers, families and healthcare professionals to provide care that fits around daily life while encouraging as much independence as possible.
Whether support is needed for a few hours each week or every day, we’ll create a care plan that’s right for you.
How we can support people living with an acquired brain injury
Our care is always shaped around the individual.
Support may include:
Personal care
Helping with washing, dressing, bathing and personal hygiene while always respecting dignity and privacy.
Mobility support
Helping customers move safely around their home, reducing the risk of falls and building confidence.
Medication support
Helping customers take medication safely and at the right time.
Meal preparation
Preparing nutritious meals and encouraging healthy eating and hydration.
Rehabilitation support
Working alongside therapists and healthcare professionals to support rehabilitation goals and daily routines where appropriate.
Companionship
Providing encouragement, conversation and emotional support throughout the day.
Household tasks
Helping with light housekeeping, laundry and keeping the home safe and comfortable.
Getting out into the community
Supporting customers to attend appointments, visit friends and family or enjoy hobbies and activities that are important to them.
Supporting recovery after hospital
Returning home after a brain injury can feel like a significant step.
Many people are pleased to be back in familiar surroundings but may also feel anxious about managing everyday life.
Our Care Professionals provide practical support while helping customers regain confidence at their own pace.
We’ll work closely with families and healthcare teams to make the transition home as reassuring as possible.
Care that changes as recovery progresses
Recovery following an acquired brain injury often takes time.
Some people gradually become more independent.
Others need longer-term support as their needs change.
We’ll regularly review your care plan and adapt it whenever necessary, making sure the support you receive continues to reflect your circumstances and personal goals.
Supporting the whole family
An acquired brain injury affects more than one person.
Partners, parents, children and friends often take on caring responsibilities while adjusting to unexpected changes.
We’re here for families too.
By providing reliable home care, we help reduce some of the pressure, giving loved ones more time to focus on spending meaningful time together rather than managing every aspect of day-to-day care.
You’ll remain involved throughout, and we’ll work closely with everyone involved in your care.

For one person, this may mean preparing meals together.
For another, it could be supporting them to visit friends, return to hobbies or attend appointments.
Small achievements often build confidence over time, and we’re here to support every step of that journey.
