Finding the Right Spinal Cord Injury Care
Jake’s life revolved around his passions—working as a chef, surfing, and creating artwork, until his accident. After his spinal cord injury, Jake’s life changed completely. He spent long periods on bedrest, struggling with anxiety and navigating the challenges of adjusting to his new reality. Finding the right spinal cord injury care became critical to his well-being.
Why Choosing the Right Disability Care Matters
Jake first connected with Forward Ability Support (then known as ParaQuad NSW), between 2009 and 2015 and had a positive experience. However, like many seeking care, he later tried other specialist disability providers —only to find that untrained carers and a lack of proper bowel care for spinal cord injury, made life significantly more difficult. The experience left him feeling uncertain and unsupported.
That’s when Jake made the decision to return to Forward, where he knew he’d receive specialist, trained care tailored to his needs. The difference was immediate.
Expert Care at Forward Ability Support
With skilled carers like Rachel by his side, Jake felt secure, independent, and in control again. His family, though not living with him, also gained peace of mind knowing he was in capable and compassionate hands. Since coming back to Forward, Jake’s quality of life has transformed. He now has the stability and support to focus on his passions again—writing a book, drawing, and painting. With reliable care in place, he’s been able to shift his energy from daily struggles to looking ahead with confidence.
