About Origin Spinal Injury Care
Origin Spinal Injury Care is a home care agency based in Lancaster, supporting people across Lancashire in their own homes. We work with older people and with younger adults, including people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Supporting someone with significant physical disability at home is detailed work, and it has to be done the way that person wants it done. People know their own bodies, their own equipment and their own routines far better than anyone arriving for a visit, so we take our instructions from them. Our role is to make that routine possible reliably, safely and without fuss, whether it involves personal care, help with moving and positioning, support with medication, meals, or getting out into the day. Reliability is not a soft quality in this kind of care, it is the whole thing. If a visit is late, a day can be derailed. So we plan the rota realistically, we keep the same care workers with the same people wherever we can, and we tell people promptly if something has to change rather than leaving them wondering. We also work closely with the health professionals involved, and with family members where the person wants them included. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We hold ourselves to that in the ordinary detail of each visit, and we would always rather someone told us straight away when we have got something wrong.

Home Care at Origin Spinal Injury Care
Home care is delivered by an agency registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care in someone's own home, covering visits for washing, dressing, medication prompts, meals, moving and positioning, and support to get out during the day. Origin Spinal Injury Care operates from Lancaster and covers people living across Lancashire. Typical private hourly rates in the North West run between £25 and £30, while Lancashire County Council commissions home care at its own agreed rate for people who qualify for funded support. Anyone considering the agency should ask how visits are timed and how long they last, how continuity of care workers is protected, and how changes to the rota are communicated. It is also reasonable to ask how the service liaises with district nurses, GPs and any specialist therapists already involved.
