Seizure Management
At Ability Aid Support, we understand how important it is to provide calm, capable, and consistent care for individuals who experience seizures. That’s why our seizure management service involves delivering specialised support for people living with epilepsy, brain injuries, or other neurological conditions. Our priority is to ensure participants remain safe during and after seizures, reduce the risk of complications, and support their overall well-being. This care is delivered by trained nursing staff and support workers across Melbourne, and includes close monitoring and education for participants, carers, and families.
Our our seizure management services can be funded through NDIS funding or accessed privately. If you want to learn more about how we can support you, get in touch today to speak with our team or request a free consultation.
Seizure Monitoring and Emergency Response
We understand that living with seizures can be unpredictable, but with the right support, participants can feel safer and more confident. Our team offers responsive, compassionate care, helping manage seizures with calm professionalism and dignity.
- Seizure Observation: We monitor for early warning signs such as auras and stay alert to different seizure types, including focal, tonic-clonic, and absence seizures.
- Seizure Management Techniques: Our trained staff follow first aid procedures to keep participants safe during an episode. This includes gently cushioning the head, clearing the surrounding area, positioning the person on their side to reduce the risk of choking, and loosening tight clothing around the neck.
- Medication Administration: We administer prescribed emergency medications like midazolam or diazepam, while always following the participant’s individual care plan.
- Emergency Services: If a seizure lasts more than five minutes, occurs repeatedly, or the participant struggles to breathe, our team will contact emergency services immediately.
- Post-Seizure Care: After a seizure, we provide ongoing monitoring, reassurance, and emotional support to ensure a safe and calm recovery.
