Lynn Cornell Brain Injury Foundation

Lynn Cornell Brain Injury Foundation Lynn Cornell lived life to the fullest until alcohol got her down. Symptoms included confusion, loss of coordination, abnormal vision, and early-onset dementia.

We are a 501(c)(3) charity that helps young and middle-aged adults with the Wernicke Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS), a poorly understood brain injury caused by alcoholism that has limited options for housing and treatments. When she was diagnosed with the Wernicke Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS), an illness linked to Vitamin B deficiency caused by excessive drinking, the damage was already done to her brain. U

nchecked, the condition could even have progressed to coma and death. Set up by her brother, Robert Cornell, the foundation aims to help her and others in similar predicaments regain control over their lives, one neuron at a time. Currently, most young and middle-aged adults with brain injuries are placed in senior care homes with the elderly who are living out the last part of their lives. This is not the right kind of atmosphere for WKS victims who need much more stimulation and encouragement. When the patients are not given what they need, they tend to lose their motivation to improve their condition and live life to the fullest.
​
Our goal is to provide an environment that is inspiring for a younger cohort. We strive to provide a healthy low-carb diet and fill their days with stimulating activities and physical exercise that help them regain as much control over their minds and bodies as possible. Specialized programs including animal therapy, music, cognitive therapy, and speech therapy will also be conducive to recovery. The patients will have access to 24-hour care and an in-house nurse will closely track their progress.
​
WKS is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and no two brains are the same. Each and every one of them must be cared for in their own individual way if they are to make progress. Our missing is to allow the victims to make the best possible recovery they can.

In the beginning, Lynn was listless and could barely move. But after help and rehabilitation from the caregivers, she could take walks with assistance several times a day.
