How we help

For a person with epilepsy, there are a variety of risks inside and outside of the home that are important to take into consideration. Safety should always be a primary concern for a service user and being organised and proactive is the best way to avert any potential risks. 

During a seizure, there are a number of ways that a service user can harm themselves. Common situations that can become risky for a person with epilepsy include heights, water, traffic and sources of heat or power. It’s essential to ensure any potential risks are identified and steps taken to avert injury or accident.

At National Epilepsy Care, we use our experience and knowledge to carry out thorough assessments of an individuals environment and provide recommendations to safeguard against potential risks. Our service is tailored towards the individual and their unique circumstances.

• Home safety assessment
• Outdoors safety assessment
• Travel recommendations
• Procurement of specialised aids
• Medication recommendations

Our main priority is the safety and comfort of our service users. We always aim to provide solutions that not only prevent potential risks but also enhance quality of life wherever possible.
