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.
