At Lifeways Care Limited, we understand the challenges faced by individuals and families affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Our dedicated services are designed to provide comprehensive support and care for those living with MND at all stages of the condition.
What is Motor Neurone Disease?
Motor Neurone Disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects the brain and nerves. It leads to muscle weakness, often with visible wasting, and can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. Symptoms of MND can include:
Muscle weakness in the ankle or leg, which may cause tripping or difficulty climbing stairs
Slurred speech that can progress to difficulty swallowing
A weak grip, making it hard to open jars or do up buttons
Muscle cramps and twitches
Unintentional weight loss and muscle thinning
Emotional changes, such as difficulty controlling laughter or tears in inappropriate situations
Experience more with our home care! Be independent, do what you love, and get the support you need. Live fully at home
The Role of In-Homecare for Motor Neurone Disease
In-home care plays a vital role in managing MND. It allows individuals to stay in the comfort of their own homes while receiving the necessary support. Our in-home care services include:
Assistance with daily living activities
Emotional support and companionship
Inclusion in social activities
Physiotherapy and exercises to maintain strength and reduce stiffness
Nutritional advice and support with eating orally, via enteral/ PEG feeding and NG tubes.
The importance of in-home care cannot be overstated. It provides not only practical help but also a sense of normalcy and independence for those affected by MND.
