Abstract
In a society working to include the disabled person in community life, the Bel-Air mobile home-care team is in charge of medico-social support for brain damage victims. Throughout the process, the team's mission is to help the brain-damage person living at home develop a life project, identifying and evaluating the problems and resources. This support includes medical care and social coordination, with particular attention to the sensitive situation of an invisible disability. Uninterrupted coherent support is essential. The team helps the person find new reference points for a new constantly evolving reality. The problematic lies in the paradox of talking about quality-of-life of the brain-damage person while the only desire of that person is to return to his-her former life.
