#241 Spinal Cord Injury Home Care Best Practices with Rebecca McWalters
Transitioning home from inpatient rehab is a pivotal and often overwhelming moment for spinal cord injured people and their families. It marks a first chapter of the new normal filled with optimism as well as significant challenges, especially when home modifications are incomplete and the patient and family are no longer in the medical safety net of hospital and facility care. For those with high-level injuries like quadriplegia, securing quality home care becomes one of the most pressing and complex hurdles.
In this episode, Louise talks with Rebecca McWalters, Director of Nursing at Baron Home Group in Atlanta, Georgia. Formerly with the renowned Shepherd Center, Rebecca helped launch Baron’s first home care agency specializing in SCI home care. Drawing on her extensive experience as an SCI nurse, Rebecca shares essential insights into navigating SCI home care, from caregiver training to addressing the daily needs of the person living with SCI. Whether you're a family caregiver, a professional in home care, or inspired to create specialized SCI home care services in your area, this episode is packed with practical tips, information and inspiration for supporting SCI individuals with what you need to know for specialized SCI quality care at home.
Stay tuned.
