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
