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 of symptoms include paralysis, muscle weakness, poor coordination, loss of sensation, seizures, confusion, pain and altered levels of consciousness.
Neurological disabilities include a wide range of disorders, such as epilepsy, learning disabilities, neuromuscular disorders, autism, ADD, brain tumours, and cerebral palsy, just to name a few.
Other conditions may be caused by tumours, degeneration, trauma, infections or structural defects. Regardless of the cause, all neurological disabilities result from damage to the nervous system. Depending on where the damage takes place, determines to what extent communication, vision, hearing, movement and cognition are impacted.

When the end comes, we don’t believe any person should be asked to leave their home. We’ll speak with the person, their loved ones and healthcare professionals to create an end of life plan that is tailored exactly to the person’s wishes.
We’ll go above and beyond to provide the person with the care they need to live out the rest of their days as comfortably as possible. We’ll also provide family and friends with on-going support after their loved one has passed to help ease the grieving process.
When it comes to neurological disorders, no case is 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 unique habits, to their daily routine and the medicines they take. We ensure every area is covered, and give each of our care staff a detailed document that covers that person’s individual needs so they can provide the very best care in line with our exceptional nursing care standards.
