Every person is unique, so it is every paralysis. Therefore, there is no unique strategy to follow when caring for a paralyzed person at home.

However, if you are a caregiver for a loved one with paralysis or paraplegia, seek advice from qualified professionals about the best way to provide care for a loved one.

Some of the typical caregiving activities you will perform when caring for a paralyzed person at home involve:

• assisting with the person’s activities of daily living (ADLs)
• changing position to avoid bed sores and other secondary potentially dangerous conditions exercise
• taking care of the person’s emotional needs
