We deliver in-home nursing for participants with spinal injury — catheter management, skin integrity monitoring, bowel care, and support with daily living.
Spinal cord injury can result in paraplegia (loss of function in the lower body) or quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia (loss of function in both the upper and lower body). The level and completeness of the injury determines the type and extent of support needed.
Common clinical needs following spinal cord injury include bladder and catheter management, bowel care, skin integrity and pressure injury prevention, and in some cases respiratory support. These needs are ongoing and require specialised nursing knowledge to manage safely in the home.
At Evia Health, our nurses understand the clinical complexities of spinal injury. We provide consistent, skilled nursing care that supports participants to live safely and independently at home — with the dignity, respect, and clinical expertise they deserve.
Indwelling and intermittent catheter care, suprapubic catheter management, bladder irrigation, and troubleshooting — delivered by nurses experienced in spinal injury care.
Pressure injury prevention through regular skin assessments, repositioning support, wound monitoring, and early intervention — reducing the risk of hospital admissions.
Complex bowel care programmes including digital stimulation, suppository administration, and bowel management routines — tailored to each participant's needs and delivered with dignity.
Personal care adapted to each participant's mobility level — including showering, dressing, transfers, meal preparation, and household tasks with proper manual handling techniques.
Nurse-led care means that every aspect of your support is overseen by clinicians who understand spinal injury. Our nurses can identify early signs of complications such as autonomic dysreflexia, urinary tract infections, or pressure injuries — and respond promptly to keep you safe at home.
