Defining Neurological Conditions
Neurological disorders are medically defined as disorders that affect the brain and the nerves found throughout the human body and the spinal cord.
This definition covers structural, biochemical, or electrical abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord, or other nerves which can result in a range of symptoms. Examples include paralysis, muscle weakness, poor coordination, loss of sensation, seizures, confusion, pain, and altered levels of consciousness.

At Branksome Park, we understand that people with neurological conditions often have highly complex care needs. No two cases are the same, which is why each resident receives a unique care plan.
Our nursing plans take into account all aspects of a person’s life, from their personal hygiene and daily routines to medical needs. Each element of a bespoke care plan covers the resident’s personal preferences so they receive the care they want and need in a way they would like it.
In addition to this, we have in-house GP appointments available, to ensure your loved one receives the medical care they need, when they need it without leaving the comfort of their home.
