Specialist support to enhance comfort, confidence and independence at every stage of life
Caring for someone with cerebral palsy requires patience, understanding and highly personalised support. Whether the condition is mild or more complex, individuals with CP often benefit greatly from consistent, specialist care that helps them live comfortably and confidently at home. At Rosemont Care, we provide compassionate cerebral palsy care across Essex, Kent and the surrounding areas, supporting children, young people and adults to live fulfilling, meaningful lives in familiar surroundings.
Our experienced Support Workers understand that cerebral palsy affects everyone differently. That’s why we tailor every aspect of care to the individual — their abilities, routines, challenges and long-term goals. With expertise in mobility, communication, daily living support and emotional reassurance, our team ensures care remains dignified, empowering and centred entirely around each person’s unique needs.
What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong neurological condition that affects movement, muscle control, posture and coordination. It is usually caused by an injury or disruption to the developing brain before, during or shortly after birth. Symptoms vary from person to person and may include:
-
Muscle stiffness, rigidity or spasticity
-
Uncontrolled or involuntary movements
-
Difficulty with coordination, balance or walking
-
Challenges with fine motor skills
-
Trouble chewing, swallowing or controlling saliva
-
Speech or communication difficulties
-
Cognitive or learning challenges (in some cases)
Because CP affects each person differently, support must be flexible, adaptive and delivered with care. Our team can help recognise changing needs over time, ensuring the right support is always in place.
Cerebral Palsy Treatment Options & Lifestyle Support
There is no single treatment for cerebral palsy — most people benefit from a combination of therapies, medical care and daily living support that helps them achieve the best quality of life.
Our Support Workers can help with:
-
Gentle movement, stretching and physiotherapy-led exercises
-
Mobility assistance and safe transfers
-
Medication support and symptom monitoring
-
Encouraging healthy routines and daily structure
-
Assistance with communication tools or adaptive equipment
We work closely with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and medical teams to ensure home care complements all clinical and therapeutic interventions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the developing brain before, during or shortly after birth. This may be due to lack of oxygen, infections, premature birth, complications during delivery or, in some cases, genetic factors. In many situations, the exact cause cannot be identified.
Cerebral palsy itself is not classed as a learning disability, but some people may experience challenges with processing information, communication or concentration. With the right support and tools, individuals with CP can learn, thrive and achieve their goals at every stage of life.
Only a small number of CP cases are linked to genetic factors. Most cases result from developmental or medical circumstances around birth, such as infections, oxygen loss or complications during pregnancy. Each person’s situation is unique, and our team is here to support families with understanding and managing the condition.
