A spinal cord injury is a serious condition that affects the nerves in the spinal cord, impacting movement, sensation, and bodily functions below the site of the injury. It is not an illness or a sign of weakness. Each spinal cord injury is unique, with varying levels of severity and effects on daily life, mobility, and independence.
We understand that living with a spinal cord injury, or supporting a loved one with the condition, can bring both challenges and adjustments. Through our specialist spinal cord injury care and support services, we provide personalised assistance that focuses on promoting independence, confidence, and well-being.
Our experienced care professionals offer flexible support through live-in care, home care, and our care and nursing homes. We adapt our approach to each person’s individual needs, triggers, and routines to provide reassurance, comfort, and consistency.
If your needs change or become more complex, we are fully equipped to adjust the level and type of support to suit your circumstances, ensuring that you or your loved one continues to live safely, confidently, and with dignity and respect.
What is Spinal Cord Injury care?
Spinal cord injury care provides personalised support for people living with spinal cord injuries, helping them to maintain independence, manage daily activities, and live safely and confidently. Because every person’s injury and experience is unique, the level and type of support is tailored to each individual’s physical, emotional, and mobility needs.
Our spinal cord injury care services are designed to promote safety, independence, and quality of life. Depending on your needs, care may include 24-hour live-in support for ongoing assistance, regular home care visits for daily support, or tailored care within one of our care and nursing homes.
From mobility assistance and personal care to emotional support and companionship, we adapt our approach to ensure comfort, dignity, and consistency at every stage of life.

Callum’s Story
Unfortunately, at age 16, while having fun with friends, Callum fell 30 feet. He sustained trauma to his head, memory loss and an acquired spinal cord injury. Callum spent the next two years in hospital. With his mobility declining and behavior becoming challenging, Callum’s social worker decided to research live-in care.
Hope was nearly lost when it became clear many companies weren’t able to support his needs. Thankfully, Callum found hope again. Agincare was assessed to be the best suited to support Callum. With great care, we matched him with Pawel, his new live-in care worker, who immediately began tailored training and getting to know Callum.
Soon, Callum was ready to move back home. The move was emotional, but Pawel was there for him. With Pawel’s support, Callum began a new chapter.

Spinal cord injury FAQs
A spinal cord injury is damage to the bundle of nerves and nerve fibers that sends and receives signals from the brain. The spinal cord extends from the lower part of the brain down through the lower back.
Spinal cord injury can be caused by direct injury to the spinal cord itself or from damage to the tissue and bones (vertebrae) that surround the spinal cord. This damage can cause temporary or permanent changes in feeling, movement, strength, and body functions below the site of injury.
Spinal cord injury can be described as complete or incomplete.
An incomplete injury means the spinal cord is still able to send some messages to or from the brain. People with incomplete injuries still have some feeling, function, and muscle control below the site of their injury.
A complete injury means that there is no nerve communication below the injury site; muscle control, feeling, or function below the injury is lost.
All our care and support team complete the nationally recognised care certificate. Specific client needs-led training is taught by internal and external trainers and/or healthcare professionals.
Each person will have their own unique experience following a spinal cord injury which is tailored to their individual care plan. We will regularly assess your care plan to reflect any changing care needs or requirements.
One of our trained assessors will visit you in your home for a free, no-obligation assessment of your spinal cord injury at a time and date that suits you. By fully understanding everything about you, together we can create a bespoke spinal injury care plan and choose the best spinal cord injury care worker for you. We will continually review your care and support needs with you, to make sure you’re getting exactly the care you need.
A traumatic spinal cord injury is caused by a sudden external force, such as a car accident, fall, or sports injury. An acquired spinal cord injury can result from internal factors, such as infections, diseases, or medical conditions, and occurs after birth. Both types can affect mobility and function, but the causes and treatment approaches may differ.
