Life after a spinal cord injury is deeply personal. Home can be the calmest, most empowering place to rebuild confidence and routine. Our outstanding spinal injury care blends specialist clinical skills with everyday practicality—so comfort, safety, and independence stay at the centre of each day.

What we do (clear, practical support)

  • Personal care with dignity
    Respectful help with washing, dressing, continence, oral care, grooming, skin care, and safe mobility—always at the person’s pace and preference.
  • Bowel care programme
    Timed routines, digital stimulation, suppositories/enemas as per plan, privacy and positioning, hydration and fibre prompts—unhurried and respectful.
  • Skin integrity & pressure care
    Turning and pressure-relief schedules, seating checks, daily skin inspections, wound care and pressure-area management; liaison on cushions, mattresses and overlays.
  • Mobility, transfers & positioning
    Safe use of hoists and slings, slide-board transfers, profiling beds, posture support, and gentle range-of-movement exercises as advised by therapists.
  • Spasticity, pain & tone
    Passive stretches, splint checks, heat/cold and relaxation techniques, prompt escalation if pain or tone patterns change.
  • Respiratory support (where assessed and competency-signed)
    Assisted cough techniques, nebulisers, and ventilator/tracheostomy support; monitoring for secretions and breathlessness.
  • Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) awareness
    Prevention, early recognition, and a clear red-flag plan (triggers, first steps, when to call 999); AD kit kept visible and ready where prescribed.
  • Therapy carry-over
    We follow physio/OT programmes, seating and posture guidance, and help with home adaptations and equipment set-up.
  • Meaningful, independent living
    Support to study, work, see friends, attend appointments, pursue sport and hobbies; confidence with public transport or vehicle transfers.
  • Emotional wellbeing & family support
    Calm companionship, goal-setting, peer/community signposting, practical coaching for family members, and flexible respite so everyone can rest.
  • Help around the home
    Light housekeeping, laundry, meal prep, hydration prompts, shopping and errands—keeping the environment safe and comfortable.
