Live life independently with Spinal care at home

Meet Salif, an independent young man who became a Tetraplegic after a traffic accident in 2015. After spending time at the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital undergoing rehabilitation to regain independence in daily tasks, he wanted to returned home to live independently and decided a full-time ‘live in carer’ was the solution. He reached out to Novus Care who provided spinal care in the home.

After considering a number of profiles he chose Ray, an experienced live in support worker with spinal care experience who also shared Salif’s interests. Ray now plays a crucial role in helping him make good choices and maintain his independence. Salif, who had previously lost much of his independence while in a nursing home, now benefits enormously from Ray’s continuous around the clock support. Despite his spinal injury, Salif is able to transfer using his upper body weight independently, under Ray’s watchful eye!

Spinal Home care offers numerous advantages for individuals living with spinal injuries, including personalised, one-on-one support tailored to their specific needs and preferences. This approach not only helps in managing daily activities but also ensures a comfortable and familiar environment, significantly enhancing the quality of life.

Ray’s assistance extends beyond daily care; he also helps plan outings and activities that enrich Salif’s life. Together, they have built a strong friendship, recently exploring Aldershot, the home of the British Army, and participating in various activities. These experiences highlight the positive impact of personalised home care in fostering independence and social engagement for those living with spinal injuries.

Live-in care provides a comprehensive approach that addresses the physical, emotional, psychological, and social needs of individuals with spinal injuries, promoting a better quality of life. Looking ahead, Ray is excited to support Salif in more trips across the UK and abroad, as this is something he is keen to pursue.
