How do we support your loved ones?
Our staff, with their extensive specialist training, are equipped to manage epilepsy effectively, ensuring they are prepared to provide the necessary care. This includes training in epilepsy awareness and the administration of rescue medications like buccal midazolam, crucial for treating seizures promptly and safely.
We believe in a collaborative approach to care, working closely with health teams, families, and educational institutions. We value your input and believe that your involvement is crucial for the best outcomes. Regular communication with all parties involved guarantees that any changes in health or care requirements are promptly addressed and integrated into the care plan.
Each child's care plan is bespoke and crafted with health professionals' input to ensure it is centered around the child's needs. We focus on what children can do, not their limitations, using strength-based assessments to build care plans that support their goals and encourage positive development.
Trained to observe and document any seizures, our caregivers understand the importance of close monitoring identifying triggers and patterns that may inform care adjustments. This active monitoring is complemented by developing engaging activity plans that promote wellbeing and ensure children continue to enjoy their hobbies and interests safely.
Our care is outcomes-based, meaning we set clear goals with health professionals, families, and the young individuals themselves. These goals aim to sustain positive wellbeing and reach desired outcomes, focusing on enabling children and young people to live full and active lives despite their epilepsy.
