CARING for spinal cord disabilities & injury

Spinal cord disabilities are among the most traumatic that someone can sustain. There are many causes of spinal cord disabilities. Anyone who has a spinal cord disability knows exactly how debilitating it is.

The effects are both physical and mental – preventing independence and limiting physical function. Some of the most frequent complications that our caregivers are trained for include:

  • neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction
  • urinary tract infections, pressure ulcers
  • orthostatic hypotension
  • fractures
  • deep vein thrombosis
  • spasticity
  • autonomic dysreflexia
  • pulmonary and cardiovascular problems
  • depressive disorders

The treatment and rehabilitation process of a spinal cord disability can be long, expensive, and always requires a multidisciplinary approach. Early rehabilitation is important to prevent additional disability and complications.

our approach to CARE

At AmeriCare Silicon Valley, we have developed several programs that help our clients incorporate important habits into their daily routines. Together, we work on breathing techniques and cultivating mindfulness to rebuild connections between the mind and body to increase overall health and well-being. Our caregivers ensure that your loved one is comfortable and well taken care of in the safety of their own home. Each member of our care team is trained on how to properly and adequately care for our clients managing mild to severe spinal cord disabilities. Our staff is committed to the strong client relationships and building a lasting bond. Our care staff is Here to Care.™
