A FIRM that looks after people with spinal cord injuries has been recognised for providing outstanding care.

Alcedo Care Group, which has a branch at Trident Business Park in Risley, has been named as Trusted Partner of Spinal Injuries Association (SIA).

SIA, the expert guiding voice for life are spinal cord injuries, partners with carefully selected organisations to help its members thrive and live their lives to the fullest.

Only those that meet its ‘very high standards’ receive trusted partner status.

Selected for its expertise in complex care, Alcedo Care Group is now recognised as an expert, trusted to provide medical care, advice and support in the home for the wider spinal cord injuries community.  

Alcedo’s nurse-led team offers flexible care depending on the differing requirements of each individual situation and can provide care in the home for even the most complicated of cases.

From light touch daily one-hour visits to respite or round-the-clock care, the Alcedo team deliver exactly the level of support that is required covering personal care, companionship and help with day-to-day tasks or transport and assistance with physiotherapy, rehabilitation appointments and other condition-related clinical needs such as bowel and bladder care.

Alison Hayward, partnership manager from the Spinal Injuries Association, commented: “The purpose of the Trusted Partner scheme is to connect our members with organisations that can help them live a fulfilled life after injury.

“We know that it is often difficult for our members to know who to trust with their care requirements and are therefore delighted to welcome Alcedo Care Group on board as a Trusted Care Partner to help with medical care in the home.”

Managing director at Alcedo Care Group, Andy Boardman, added: “Our team is hugely experienced in looking after those with spinal cord injuries in their own homes, delivering bespoke care packages according to differing individual needs and requirements.
