About this company

Ariya Neuro Care was set up in response to the lack of specialist proactive community provision for those with an acquired brain injury. Ariya understands the need for specialist support workers who are equipped to respond to the complexities of cognitive, physical and emotional needs that can arise from neurological conditions. The founders of Ariya Neuro Care, sought to develop a level of service delivery that recognised the people we support as each having skills and potential. We recognise that each person's life is unique and extraordinary and so the support they and their relatives require has to be bespoke. We understand that and acquired brain injury has a massive impact on the individual's whole life and social network, and so through inclusion and creative teamwork Ariya seeks to bring out the best in people and support the family through their life changes. We aim to run the Ariya Neuro Care with integrity, a strong ethical basis and employ staff that uphold our principles of honesty, kindness and positivity.
