Impact of housing spinal injured people in care homes
Every eight hours someone is paralysed by a spinal cord injury. 20% of these people will be discharged from hospital in to a care home, regardless of their age, because they do not have housing in the community that meets their new needs. People have been telling Aspire for years that living in a care home has a devastating impact on the lives of spinal cord injured people. Lives are put at risk by unsuitable care and facilities, and by suicidal feelings due to poor quality of life. In order to highlight this issue, Aspire commissioned new research from Loughborough University to examine the effect of the common practice of forcing people with spinal cord injury to live in care homes. This video is a response from Nick Caddick, Research Assistant on #39;Understanding the Health and Wellbeing of Spinal Cord Injured Adults Living in a Care Home. #39; You can see the research report on our website: http://www.aspire.org.ukFrom:Aspire CharityViews:4 0ratingsTime:03:04More inNews Politics
