Most people with a spinal injury want to live in their own home, many want to follow a chosen career and some want to challenge the limits of their independence.  Origin’s Care Options are designed to enable you to make those choices.
Consider the various care options we are able to offer and select the one you feel most appropriate to your needs....permanent or temporary.

Fully Managed Care

Fully Managed Care gives you continuous care with no hassle.  Origin will work closely with you to identify the best combination of permanent and respite carers.  You have the overall control of the care package but we handle the bureaucracy including, recruitment, training, sick/holiday cover, payroll etc. for a fixed weekly charge.

Permanent Direct Care

Origin can recruit and train a permanent Personal Assistant to be employed directly by you. We select and introduce a Personal Assistant to match your individual needs, lifestyle, personality and location to create a friendly, personal and discreet working relationship.  Origin will co-ordinate all initial care arrangements to ensure things run smoothly and resolve any queries you may have.

Respite Care

Respite support can be used for a few days or weeks when your permanent Personal Assistant is on leave or when a family member is unavailable.  Our respite care service is an ideal way for you to become familiar with our services.  You may choose an open ended and ongoing respite care option to give you continuous cover whilst allowing you to meet a variety of Personal Assistants prior to your making long-term care arrangements.

Holiday Care Service

Origin’s national and international Holiday Care Service can provide a trained Personal Assistant to accompany you on holiday.  This may enable you to take an independent holiday or with the additional support take a well deserved break or holiday with all your family and friends.

Origin clients can fund their care privately or with assistance from other sources and we are happy to advise on costs and funding options for any of the above care packages.
