We provide nurse-led support for participants recovering from or living with acquired brain injury — including clinical nursing, medication management, and daily living assistance across Melbourne's South-East suburbs.
Acquired brain injury (ABI) refers to any damage to the brain that occurs after birth. It can result from stroke, traumatic brain injury caused by accidents or falls, hypoxic brain injury from oxygen deprivation, or infections such as meningitis or encephalitis.
The effects of ABI vary widely. Some participants experience changes in cognition, memory, and concentration. Others face physical challenges such as mobility difficulties, fatigue, or chronic pain. Behavioural and emotional changes — including impulsivity, anxiety, and mood fluctuations — are also common.
Because every brain injury is different, the support a person needs is highly individual. Some participants require 24/7 clinical nursing, while others benefit from daily living assistance and gradual community reintegration. At Evia Health, we work with participants and families to build a support plan that reflects where they are now and where they want to be.
