Cerebral Palsy Care

Cerebral palsy care at home

We create sustainable complex care packages that clients and their families can rely on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our expert care and nursing team supports individuals with cerebral palsy by providing clinical interventions and holistic well-being support, helping clients live safely, and independently – on their own terms.

The care provided depends on the type of cerebral palsy the client has – spastic, dyskinetic, or ataxic – and how their cerebral palsy presents. This could include assistance with, for example, personal care, moving and hoisting, nutritional care, stoma care, or an epilepsy support plan.

For us, it's personal

Superior Healthcare was founded in 2006, following our CEO’s own experience of locating a care package to support his brother, Alex, who sustained a traumatic brain injury at age 11.

Having experienced firsthand the importance of high-quality, compassionate, and consistent complex care, we are driven to ensure that everyone can live a fulfilled life, with fun, dignity, independence, and choice.
