A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a life-altering event that impacts the very control center of an individual's personality, memory, and physical abilities. Unlike other injuries, the path to recovery is complex and unique, often involving challenges that are "invisible" to the outside world. For families, navigating these cognitive and behavioral changes can be the most difficult part of the journey.
At Apricot Care in Pune, we specialize in comprehensive brain injury rehabilitation. We understand that a TBI affects the whole person and the entire family. Our mission is to provide a highly structured, expert-led, and deeply compassionate program that addresses every facet of recovery, helping survivors reclaim their highest possible level of independence.
A complete TBI recovery plan requires a highly integrated, neuropsychological approach. Our multidisciplinary program includes:
A TBI is typically caused by an external force, like a fall or an accident, that causes the brain to move inside the skull. This can result in diffuse (widespread) damage, which is why the effects are often more complex and variable than those of a stroke. With over 1.5 million TBIs occurring in India each year, primarily from road accidents, the need for specialized care is immense.
The most significant challenges often lie beyond the physical injuries:
Our program is specifically designed to address these complex cognitive and behavioral issues with expert care.
The primary goal of our brain injury program is to help individuals progress to the highest level of independence and functional quality of life possible. This involves relearning lost skills, developing new compensatory strategies, and successfully reintegrating into family and community life.

Whether you're staying in our facility or recovering at home, our trained nurses and medical staff are always available to address your needs, ensuring a safe and secure environment throughout your recovery journey.
This is our specialty. We have the expert team, including rehabilitation psychologists and occupational therapists, required to effectively manage the "invisible" injuries of TBI.
Our facility is intentionally designed to be calm, quiet, and organized. This is essential for patients who are easily overstimulated, agitated, or have attention deficits.
We believe the family is a co-therapist. We provide more education and hands-on training for families than any other program, empowering you to be a confident and effective part of the recovery process.
Your entire team meets formally and regularly to discuss the case, ensuring cognitive, behavioral, and physical goals are perfectly aligned at all times.
Our ultimate goal is to help the survivor reintegrate into family, social, and vocational life.
This is one of the most difficult and common effects of a TBI. The frontal lobes of the brain, which control personality, insight, and impulse control, are very often injured. These changes are a direct result of the injury to the brain's "hardware," not a conscious choice by your loved one. Our psychological support services are designed to help the entire family understand and manage these changes.
This condition, called anosognosia, is a neurological symptom of the brain injury itself—a genuine unawareness of one's own deficits. It is not denial. Our approach involves building a strong, trusting relationship and focusing on functional goals that the person is motivated by (e.g., "Let's work on this so you can be strong enough to go out with friends"). Over time, with gentle feedback in a supportive environment, insight can improve.
Memory is one of the functions most sensitive to brain injury. While some natural recovery occurs, rehabilitation focuses on two things: strengthening the memory systems that still work well and, crucially, teaching you how to use powerful compensatory strategies (like memory notebooks, calendars, and technology) to function successfully even with some memory challenges.
The Rancho Scale is a tool therapists use to describe a person's level of cognitive functioning as they recover from a brain injury. It has 10 levels, ranging from Level I (No Response) to Level X (Purposeful, Appropriate). It helps the therapy team communicate about a patient's progress and design appropriate treatment for their current cognitive level.
