Brain Damage

Whether it be catastrophic brain injury resulting in a Permanent Vegetative State (PVS) or a closed head injury resulting in diagnosed Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), victims of brain damage and their families face significant challenges.

PVS Injuries

High-quality care for PVS patients is critical. Medical research demonstrates that the quality of care for a comatose patient impacts life expectancy and chances for recovery.

Beyond immediate post-injury care, where the family must address important questions, long-term care can be problematic. Simply finding an appropriate facility that will accept the injured family member can be difficult. Plus, funding expensive care must be addressed.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Victims of severe brain injury who regain consciousness but suffer from debilitating paralysis or loss of mental capacity can cause family members and caregivers to face tough issues. The level of care available, and the level of care that can be funded, are some of the toughest questions. TBI injuries can require perseverance on the part of family members to recognize the injury and then obtain appropriate medical care.

TBI patients present unique challenges. At times TBI victims can appear "normal" to strangers in that they walk and talk, but family members, teachers and friends can attest to the fact that the person has changed - that the person they used to know as their child, or student or friend is no longer present.
