Ian’s Journey
Living Independently with Spinal Injury Support from Home Instead South Lanarkshire
Could 24-Hour Care at Home Be the Right Solution for Your Loved One?
When Ian suffered a serious spinal injury that left him partially paralysed, the thought of returning home after surgery and rehabilitation seemed daunting. Initially, local social workers provided support, but Ian found the care package wasn’t fully meeting his needs. That’s when he turned to Home Instead South Lanarkshire for a more personalised solution.
Recommended by a friend, Ian reached out to Home Instead, and the team quickly stepped in to deliver the 24-hour care he needed. This included help with personal care, medication, meal preparation, and daily transfers between his bed and chair using specialised hoisting equipment. With a dedicated care team, Ian was able to remain in the comfort of his home, enjoying independence and familiarity for over three years.
