Catastrophic Injury
Catastrophic injury normally covers very severe
injuries, often resulting in paralysis. At the
lower end of the scale are amputations or fully
paralyzed, and at the higher end paraplegia,
tetraplegia, quadriplegia or even a permanent
vegetative state. Cases may be further
complicated by fractures to the spine or even
multiple fractures. These patients invariably
require planning for the long-term, usually the
rest of the client's life. While the road to
recovery is difficult, it is imperative to focus
on recovery and trying to get the client's life
back. Someone else needs to be out there
fighting in their corner.
Our professional experience and expertise with
catastrophic injuries -- whether they are
amputations, spinal injuries, head injuries or
serious orthopedic/neurological injuries -- focuses
on life skills training and quality of life.
To the best of our abilities, we are absolutely committed to helping with all
the needs of our
clients and their families. We will not falsely
raise hopes, nor will we set unrealistically low
targets. Instead, we will work with all the clinical team
members and the orders of the attending
physicians to implement the long term plan in
the home. As long as it is to the benefit of our
clients, we work daily so that each person gets
the best home nursing services with the goal of
returning to a meaningful life and/or work. |
