Motor Neuron Disease

Motor neurone disease is a challenging diagnosis. Over time damaged nerve transmissions mean the body won’t be able to move and speech is affected too. It’s a progressive disease that will eventually lead you to having a live-in carer, round the clock.

As with any disease motor neurone disease affects people differently and as specialists in this care we can help you live life to the fullest extent possible. But what’s also crucial is our understanding of the way motor neurone disease progresses and how your care plan will need to adapt. What’s more, we can support you with the associated conditions that come with motor neurone disease, such as frontotemporal dementia. We’ll review your situation on a regular basis and deliver you the best care possible.

Our Motor Neurone Disease Care

As well as practical challenges, there are emotional challenges with motor neurone disease too and mental health issues are as important to consider as physical challenges. Working with you, we’ll create a care plan that’s specific to your situation and requirements. You’ll be fully supported by professional and experienced staff.

All of our carers have as standard the Skills for Care qualification. But more importantly they all share our belief that care should be the best possible and our experience means we understand the difference good care can really make to a person’s quality of life.

For example, we can help with:

 

  • Daily tasks such as washing, dressing and eating
  • Help around the house and shopping
  • Seeing friends and family, or being a companion for outings
  • Help with prescribed medication

We can also help with respite care and we’re here 24/7 if you need to contact us for support in an emergency or at short notice.
