Action for Brain Injury (ABI) Week takes place every May and highlights different aspects of brain injury and its impact. To mark this important awareness week, we’re reflecting on a truly special journey we are privileged to be part of.
Following a stroke and five years in hospital, our client’s return home once felt out of reach. Through a carefully coordinated care package, we supported her transition back home, helping to make what once felt impossible, possible again.
Our team received tailored brain injury training specific to her presentation, enabling them to understand how her condition affects memory, decision-making, and daily living. Care is delivered in a way that nurtures her independence, using simple communication and ensuring the right support is available for more complex decisions.
Alongside daily care, therapeutic support including exercises and music therapy helps aid her ongoing recovery and wellbeing.
Returning home, reunited with her beloved cats, also coincided with her 65th birthday, making it a truly special milestone shared with family and her care team. It was a simple but special day that included sunshine, tea, cake, and plenty of laughter, shared with the people who matter most.
Stories like this sit at the heart of Brain Injury Awareness Week for us, highlighting resilience, the importance of rehabilitation, and the difference that tailored home care can make in supporting people to live well beyond injury. 💚

As Mental Health Awareness Week comes to a close, our focus on mental health continues beyond this week 💚
This year’s theme, Action, encouraged us to take meaningful steps to support mental wellbeing across our organisation. At Apollo Home Healthcare, our action has been to shine a spotlight on our Mental Health First Aiders and the vital role they play in supporting our colleagues.
Our Mental Health First Aiders are available all year round to listen, support, and reassure colleagues in complete confidence whenever they need someone to turn to.
While this week has been a great opportunity to raise awareness and introduce our local MHFA teams, the message remains the same moving forward that support is always available, and conversations about mental health should continue every day, not just during awareness week.
Together, we’re committed to creating a workplace where wellbeing is prioritised, support is visible, and no one feels alone. 💚

Finally, we’re proud to introduce Kathryn, our Mental Health First Aider based in our North West Office. 💚
Our Mental Health First Aiders play an important role in creating a positive and supportive environment for colleagues across the business, providing reassurance, guidance, and a confidential space to talk whenever support may be needed.
By encouraging open conversations and raising awareness of the support available, we continue to promote a workplace culture where wellbeing matters and nobody feels alone.
Thank you, Kathryn, for helping to support the wellbeing of our teams across Apollo Home Healthcare!
