Cerebral Palsy

Care for Children with Cerebral Palsy

At Hope Homecare, we understand the unique challenges faced by children with cerebral palsy and their families. Our dedicated team provides compassionate, specialised, and person-centred care to support each child’s health, development, and well-being.

 

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder affecting muscle coordination, movement, and posture. It results from brain damage before, during, or shortly after birth.

The severity and symptoms of CP vary among individuals, with some experiencing mild impairment while others may have significant motor disabilities. Common symptoms include:
✅ Stiffness, weakness, or tremors
✅ Difficulties with balance and posture
✅ Challenges with fine motor skills and daily activities

How We Help

2. Specialised Support Services

Our services include:

  • Physical therapy – Enhancing mobility, strength, and coordination.
