Staying at home means minimum changes in the person’s existing routine or lifestyle. A caregiver needs to ensure that the person with spinal cord injury (SCI) receives necessary care at home.

Investigate your loved one’s recovery and therapy options. Unfortunately, the perfect spinal cord injury therapy does not exist. However, high-quality treatment and care can help prevent injury aggravation, alleviate the side effects of spinal cord injury, and help improve your loved one’s quality of life.

Also, make modifications at home, such as installing ramps or wheelchair lifts, widening doorways, etc., to accommodate your loved one’s mobility limitations.
