Support for adults with physical disabilities
Support for adults with physical disabilities
Whether your physical disability is recently acquired, or is something that you’ve lived with for many years, with Hazelcare you can expect to feel safe, reassured and in control. We’re proud to tailor our support around your needs, helping you to feel active, engaged and fulfilled.
We make sure to take a personalised approach to our support for people living with physical disabilities, to help them reach their individual goals.
For some, living with a physical disability may be a recently acquired condition and so they may be looking for guidance and coping strategies in everyday life. For others who have always lived with their physical disability, they may be seeking encouragement and support to push to achieve a goal that they've wanted to do for years.
We're here to support every ambition, whether it's new or old, big or small, easy or difficult. We'll also be here to celebrate once it's accomplished, and will help to set the next one. As our teams will tell you, there's nothing more rewarding than supporting people to pursue their personal goals and dreams.
What is a physical disability?
A physical disability can affect a person’s mobility, stamina and dexterity. Every physical disability is unique and affects everyone differently, therefore each individual with a physical disability will experience different symptoms.
Physical disabilities can result in someone having reduced ability, and make daily tasks more challenging or even impossible to complete. Individuals with a physical disability may find it difficult to walk, stand, sit, move their limbs or control certain muscles.
Physical disability support that's tailored to each individual
We provide support to people living with all types of physical disability - whether temporary or lifelong, inherited or acquired. We also have extensive experience in caring for individuals with physical disabilities including cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, amputation, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, musculoskeletal injuries and muscular dystrophy.
Many people living with physical disabilities are also living with other conditions such as learning disabilities, brain injury, mental health needs as well as additional health requirements. Our skilled teams are trained and experienced in supporting those living with a range of complex needs.
All of the support we provide is completely personal to each individual. The level of support we provide is flexible from being there for just a few hours a week to 24-7. Our plans are always bespoke, taking the time to get to know each person and those who are important to them to ensure that we've understood the challenges they've already overcome, their needs and wishes for the immediate future, and also their longer-term ambitions. All of this information helps us tailor what we do in a way that ensures that the people we support live happy, fulfilling lives, and consistently achieve positive outcomes related to their personal goals.
Our support plans remain flexible to adapt with a person's changing needs and abilities. We provide friendly encouragement to nurture confidence and independence. Any adaptations and changes to the way we support are carefully discussed through the regular feedback meetings we hold with individuals, those who are important to them and any relevant care professionals. We make sure that we listen to everyone's feedback and wishes, and ensure everyone stays up to date and engaged with the progress and successes.
