Spinal Injury and Mobility Support
A spinal injury or significant change in mobility can affect many aspects of everyday life, but it does not necessarily mean someone must give up living within their own home.
Live-in support may provide practical assistance while allowing the individual to retain control over their routines, relationships, activities and lifestyle.
Individual Requirements Vary
Some individuals may require relatively limited practical assistance.
Others may need more extensive support.
Depending on the arrangement agreed with the carer and the carer's experience, this may include:
- Personal care & dressing
- Mobility & transfers
- Meal preparation
- Household tasks
- Shopping
- Attending appointments
- Accessing the community
- Companionship
- Maintaining work & interests
- Assistance with established routines
Where specialist techniques or equipment are involved, clients should consider carers with appropriate relevant experience and competence.
Choosing a Carer
Grace & Goodwill enables clients and families to browse live-in carer profiles and consider relevant skills, experience, interests, communication style and availability.
The client remains in control of the final choice.
Our team can also provide additional matching support where requested.
