Huntington’s Disease Care

We know that caring for a loved one living with Huntington’s disease can be a very upsetting time and put a considerable strain on families. You may assume that a residential care home is the only option, but there is an alternative – live-in care.

Live-in care involves professionally carers providing 24-hour support at home, as per a tailored Huntington’s disease profile specifically created by you to meet your individual needs. Carers are there to help you and your family manage the different challenges of this condition, without needing to move into residential care.

Live-in carers are on hand 24-hours per day, 7 days a week, to help and assist with a wide variety of duties. These might include:

• Personal care
• Medication prompting
• Preparing nutritious meals. Our Carers will ensure they cook their favourite meals whilst ensuring they’re of high nutritious value
• Helping to maintain a regular exercise routine
• Working with neurologists, dieticians, neuropsychiatrists, physiotherapists, speech therapists and other health care professionals to manage symptoms more effectively and positively.
• Housekeeping, such as cleaning, washing and general chores around the house

Live in carer can help greatly with mental health too. It’s understandable for those living with this condition to experience periods of anxiety and depression, which is why we work hard to try and match your loved one with a live-in carer that has similar interests and hobbies to them.
