Spinal Injury Care at Home in Worcester and Wychavon

Living with a spinal cord injury brings significant changes but with the right support, it’s absolutely possible to remain safe, independent, and comfortable at home. At Bluebird Care Worcester & Wychavon, we provide tailored spinal injury care to people across Worcester, Evesham, Droitwich Spa, Pershore, the North Cotswolds, and nearby villages.

Whether someone is adjusting to life after a sudden injury or managing a long-term condition, our experienced care professionals offer respectful, hands-on help.

Working closely with families and local NHS services, we create care plans that adapt as needs change, and always with a focus on dignity, confidence, and quality of life.

What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) affect the body's ability to transmit messages between the brain and other areas. They can be caused by sudden trauma (such as falls or road traffic accidents), or by non-traumatic events like infections, tumours, or degenerative conditions.

The severity and location of the injury can influence outcomes, but the challenges that people face can be similar, including:

• Loss of mobility or coordination

• Changes in temperature regulation and sensory perception

• Muscle spasms or involuntary movements

• Bladder and bowel control issues

• Increased risk of pressure injuries and secondary complications

We understand the physical and emotional toll a spinal injury can take not only on the person affected but also on those who love and care for them. 

That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every care plan is built around the individual, with thoughtful adjustments that evolve as needs change. Our aim is to restore confidence, reduce stress, and help each person live as fully and comfortably as possible at home.

Local, Person-Centred Support

Whether you’re living in Worcester’s St John's area, a rural North Cotswolds village, or near Evesham town centre, our team offers the same high standard of care. Every service is fully tailored and underpinned by a deep knowledge of the area’s healthcare ecosystem, including relationships with:

• Worcestershire Royal Hospital and outpatient rehabilitation services

• Evesham Community Hospital and Droitwich Spa care teams

• Local GP surgeries and regional spinal care units

• Community physiotherapy and occupational therapy providers

• Mobility equipment services and home adaptations professionals

The care we provide often (but not always) begins with hospital discharge planning and continues through rehabilitation, recovery, or ongoing long-term care at home.

Regulated, Trusted, and Local

Bluebird Care Worcester & Wychavon is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This means our service is independently inspected and held to the highest national standards for safety, leadership, responsiveness, and care delivery.

We don’t outsource or compromise, and every care assistant is employed directly by us, carefully DBS-checked and fully referenced before joining the team. Each one receives specialist training in spinal care, and they are continually supervised and supported by our experienced Care Managers to ensure the highest standards of care.

We also offer guidance on securing additional support from spinal charities, local support groups, or voluntary services across Worcestershire. Whether you’re in Broadway, Fladbury, Willersey or Hartlebury, and anywhere in between, we’re just a phone call away.

Why Choose Bluebird Care?

We don’t see tasks; we see people. Our team takes time to understand the person behind the care plan and build a routine that fits their preferences, routines, and goals.
