As bespoke care providers, the Complete Group can assist individuals and families with complex care needs for both adults
and children. Our highly trained staff and nurses ensure packages are tailored made to suit the requirements of the individual.
Some of the conditions that we offer services to are listed below.
Spinal Cord Injury:
The spinal cord is a vital communication link between the brain and the rest of the body. Therefore, spinal cord injury
can cause loss of function in areas such as sensation and muscle control, because the link between the brain and the body
has been damaged.
Acquired Brain Injury:
Acquired brain injury is defined as damage to the brain that occurs after birth and is not related to a congenital disorder
or a degenerative disease. Damage may be caused by a traumatic injury to the head or by a non-traumatic cause.
Multiple Sclerosis:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological condition affecting young adults. Around 85,000 people in the
UK have Multiple Sclerosis. MS is the result of damage to myelin - a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central
nervous system. When myelin is damaged, this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body. For some
people, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission while for others it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it
makes life unpredictable.
Muscular Dystrophy:
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a genetic (inherited) condition where slow, progressive, muscle wasting leads to increasing
weakness and disability. There are over 20 types of genetic muscular disorders, each differing in their symptoms and severity.
Most types of muscular dystrophy are very rare, with about 1 in 20,000 babies being born with the condition in the UK each year.
Cerebral Palsy:
Cerebral palsy (CP) is not a disease or an illness. It is the description of a physical impairment that affects movement.
The movement problems vary from barely noticeable to extremely severe. No two people with cp are the same; it is as individual
as people themselves. Cerebral palsy includes a variety of conditions.
Locked in PVS:
A persistent vegetative state (PVS) is a condition of people with severe brain damage in whom coma has progressed to a
state of wakefulness without detectable awareness. Many patients emerge from a vegetative state within a few weeks, but
those who do not recover within 30 days are said to be in a persistent vegetative state.
