Specialised Nursing Care in Dorset
Neurological disorders are medically defined as disorders that affect the brain as well as the nerves found throughout the human body and the spinal cord.
Structural, biochemical, or electrical abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord, or other nerves 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 person under our care receives their own unique care plan.
Our nursing care plans take into account all aspects of a person’s life, from their capabilities and daily routine to the medicines they take. We give each of our care staff a detailed document covering every aspect, so they can provide the very best care in line with our exceptional nursing care standards.
We also provide in-house GP appointments so that your loved one doesn’t have to wait to see their GP, or stress about leaving their home.
Our team of high-calibre nurses are specifically trained to support individuals with neurological conditions. We’re able to offer a variety of healthcare options, including residential nursing care and a rehabilitation pathway that encompasses slow stream and intensive therapy programs. Our team collaborates closely with community NHS therapy teams to guarantee seamless continuity of care.
Our experience in caring for adults from all walks of life has taught us the importance of adapting our services to each person’s unique history and personality. We understand the importance of being responsive, sensitive, and warm given the nature of our service, and we feel honoured to witness the incredible journeys of each person under our care.
