Spinal Injury Home Care & Support Services in London

There are no two ways about it: sustaining a spinal injury is a life-changing event, for all concerned. Any person with a spinal injury faces new challenges, new choices to be made, and new routines to establish.

Friends, family, and doctors can all provide absolutely invaluable support in helping you to live the life you want to live. But at some stage, almost all people with a spinal injury will need some extra help from a personal care assistant. London is full of a bewildering roster of providers, whose quality varies wildly. But the proper team of dedicated staff can gently ease the workload for friends and family, can open up endless new opportunities for you, and can naturally provide all aspects of personal care with the utmost discretion and respect.

A care assistant shouldn’t just be someone who provides a service, an agency worker whose only concern is getting the job done as quickly as possible. The right care assistant can offer companionship, kinship, and just the kind of emotional support we all need when facing such an uncertain and difficult time.

At Rivendell, we’re proud of our staff. Selected for their natural qualities — empathy, patience, and a consummate respect for all our service users — all our staff have also undergone extensive specialist training. We are therefore able to offer one of the most comprehensive packages of spinal injury care in London — a care package tailored precisely to your individual needs and encompassing all aspects of the care you need. Our broad expertise means we can assist with all types of spinal injury ranging from hourly visits to full-time care.

Our goal, above all, is to help you achieve independence in your own home:
