  • What is Severe Epilepsy?

    NDIS Severe Epilepsy

    Severe epilepsy refers to a condition where individuals experience frequent, prolonged, or difficult-to-control seizures that can significantly impact their daily life and overall well-being. Unlike mild or occasional epilepsy, severe cases often require continuous monitoring, specialised medical management, and tailored care strategies to ensure safety and stability. These seizures may be resistant to standard medications, leading to unpredictable episodes that can affect mobility, cognition, and independence. People living with severe epilepsy may also need support from healthcare professionals, including neurologists, nurses, and NDIS support workers, to manage their condition effectively. 

    At Compass Care Group, we provide specialised NDIS support in Perth for individuals with severe epilepsy, focusing on seizure management, emergency response, and holistic care planning. Our goal is to enhance quality of life, promote confidence, and ensure participants receive the compassionate, consistent care they need to live safely and comfortably.

  • Why Choose Compass Care Group In Severe Epilepsy?

    • Coordinated, Team-Based Approach: Effective care for severe epilepsy and its related conditions requires a coordinated team of professionals (neurologists, nurses, social workers, etc.) to address all facets of the patient’s condition.
    • Patient- and Caregiver-Centred Care: The model emphasises involving the patient and caregivers in treatment decisions and providing support tailored to their specific needs, preferences, and values.
    • Individualised Care Plans: Comprehensive, written care plans are developed and updated regularly, detailing seizure types, triggers, medications (including rescue medications), safety advice, and contact information for the care team.
    • Emphasis on Quality and Safety: Care is based on scientific knowledge and aims to avoid injuries, reduce risks (such as SUDEP), and ensure timely, effective treatment.
    • Integration of Community Resources: Successful models connect patients and caregivers with essential community-based resources and support services, such as local Epilepsy Foundation affiliates.
    • Use of Technology: Digital platforms, like the “CareCompass” app mentioned in search results, help centralise and manage patient information, medication schedules, and emergency plans, simplifying caregiving tasks and facilitating communication among care team members.
    • Expertise in Drug-Resistant Cases: For severe, treatment-resistant epilepsy, access to specialised epilepsy centres accredited by organisations like the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC) ensures access to the highest standard of care, including consideration of surgical options.

  • Examples of Severe Epilepsy

    NDIS Severe Stroke
    • Tonic-clonic seizures: Also called “grand mal” seizures, these are a combination of muscle stiffening (tonic phase) and rhythmic, repeated jerking (clonic phase). They often cause loss of consciousness and can result in falls, tongue biting, and loss of bladder or bowel control.
    • Lennox-Gastaut syndrome: A severe childhood form of epilepsy that involves multiple types of seizures, intellectual disability, and developmental delays.
    • Infantile spasms (West syndrome): A rare but severe epilepsy syndrome starting in infancy, characterised by sudden jerking movements followed by stiffening. It can lead to developmental delays and is often linked to brain abnormalities.
    • Rasmussen’s syndrome: An inflammatory disease where one side of the brain gradually deteriorates. It is often accompanied by severe, medication-resistant seizures and progressive weakness and neurological problems.
    • Status epilepticus: This is a medical emergency, not a type of epilepsy, but it can occur during any seizure. It happens when a seizure lasts longer than five minutes or when seizures occur in quick succession without the person regaining consciousness between them. This is extremely dangerous and requires immediate emergency medical treatment.
