Brain Injury Services
VP Community Care provides specialist support for clients who have sustained a head injury. All of our clients have very different needs and as such are treated as individuals with unique needs, values and aspirations. Our clients
•Complex needs, including forensic
•Traumatic Brain Injury
•Spinal Cord Injury
•Mental Health/Psychological Needs
•Dual Diagnosis
•Physical Disability
We encourage clients and families to take as active a role in their life and rehabilitation as possible. We work within the multidisciplinary team to ensure the individual’s medical, physical and psychosocial needs are met. Some of our clients need help with the most fundamental of needs, some need support to develop or regain
Lost skills , and others require only informal support with daily functioning. We will work with clients to ensure they reach their maximum potential, from management of their self- care and psychological health to returning to work in either a paid or voluntary capacity. Most clients have experienced a huge sense of loss across multiple aspects of their life. The trauma associated with this can have huge ramifications for their psychological and physical wellbeing. Families too, often need support to contend with their own feelings of fear, anxiety and low mood, as well as changes to their role and relationship. Clients and families will be helped to understand and adjust to the changes that have occurred in their lives.
Our aim is to help clients live a fulfilling and functional life according to their own aspirations, whilst ensuring their safety and wellbeing. We understand the anxiety felt by clients and families, brought about through uncertainty about the future. As a result, we now offer new innovative services for settled cases. For more information please contact us.

We were faced with a sad prospect of...a secure unit when I was referred to VP..My relative is very positive, very happy and speaks really highly of all the carers. VP has...enabled my relative to live in the community...to lead as normal a life as possible.”
