An Older Woman And Her Daughter Discuss Choosing The Best Home Care Agency With Long-Term Care Insurance As They Review The Policy Together.

Brain Injury Care

The brain is the most intricate organ in the human body, governing all bodily functions. When a brain injury occurs, its effects can vary from minor to severe, depending on the injury’s location and extent. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result in changes in behavior, social skills, and coping abilities, along with reduced self-esteem. Individuals may experience frustration, anger, agitation, denial, and a lack of motivation.
