Alan’s Story

Lifelong Brain Injury Support from Home Instead Hamilton

How Can Personalised Care Improve the Life of Someone with a Brain Injury?

Alan’s life changed dramatically after a car accident left him with limited mobility and an acquired brain injury. Vulnerable and unable to recognise danger, Alan requires round-the-clock assistance to stay safe and maintain a sense of independence. From managing mood swings to ensuring he follows a strict diet and exercise routine, Alan’s care is highly specialised.

For the past five years, Home Instead Hamilton has provided Alan with the personalised support he needs. To avoid causing anxiety or confusion, a small, consistent team of care professionals assists Alan with his daily routine. This approach has helped him retain as much independence as possible while also ensuring his safety and wellbeing.
