Superior Healthcare was founded following our CEO’s experience of finding a care package for his brother, Alex, who sustained a traumatic brain injury at age 11. Since then, we’ve provided nurse-led care to support people living with brain injuries.
At 11 years old, Stewart’s brother Alex was in a major car accident. Initially, he relied on a tracheostomy and ventilator. What followed was 18 months of residential rehabilitation so Alex could relearn how to walk and talk.
While arranging at-home care for Alex, Stewart saw the need for a specialist provider that could continue Alex’s rehabilitation and integrate smoothly into family life.
Superior Healthcare was formed to fulfil this need and has since supported individuals across England with brain injuries, including those with cerebral palsy and stroke aftercare.
When you commission Superior Healthcare to provide care for a person with a brain injury, a Nurse Manager with appropriate skills and experience is appointed to oversee a client’s care package.
Our team follows a personalised care plan that meets the client’s clinical, emotional, and social needs. Plans could include neuro-rehabilitation activities to help the client regain independence.
The Nurse Manager and expert care team tracks changes in the individual’s health, personal goals, and lifestyle. We adapt the care to meet evolving needs, ensuring the client’s wishes and rehabilitation goals remain at the centre of the care package.
Superior Healthcare offers tailored brain injury care, including day or night care, 24-hour nursing care, and live-in support.

A brain injury occurs from an incident or accident that has damaged one or more areas of the brain being damaged, resulting in learning disabilities or loss of cognition. This in turn can have an impact on a person’s physical movement and daily living skills.
Care required may include assisting with personal care or prompting and assisting with daily tasks that they could independently do before the injury. Some of our clients may have a specific daily routine or therapy programme that they need to follow.
