Spinal Cord Injury Care from Universal Complex Care

A spinal injury might cause paralysis from the point if the injury down which can affect the lower body or both arms and legs. But often there’s an emotional aspect to the physical trauma of a spinal injury too.

It’s important that your carers also properly understand all these aspects of your care. Our professionals are experienced in supporting you with both the physical effects of injury and the emotional issues that arise from injury, such as depression or anxiety. We understand that having to now rely on someone else for support can have a negative effect on your self-esteem.

That’s also why our care services aren’t packages. They are tailor made to fit around your needs, helping you live your life as independently as possible, while supporting you and keeping you safe.

For example, your support might include:

 

  • Personal care such as washing and dressing
  • Mobility support
  • Help with rehabilitation and prescribed medication
  • Help around the house
  • Being a companion around the house or day trips/holidays

There are ongoing conditions that can be associated with spinal injury too, for example weakened bones and incontinence and an increased risk of diseases such as pneumonia.
