Multiple Sclerosis (MS) home care
Multiple sclerosis (MS) defies the assumption that only older people need caring support. Predominantly affecting people in mid-life, individuals living with multiple sclerosis need highly personalised, age-appropriate care services to ensure that they can live as well as possible.

What is multiple sclerosis?
What are the signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis?
MS symptoms vary, but can include:
- Problems with balance
- Sensations such as numbness or tingling
- Difficulty walking
- Vision problems
- Fatigue
- Stiffness or spasms in muscles
- Bladder control issues
- Problems with tasks such as thinking or learning.
- Relapsing MS is the most common, with up to 85% of sufferers being diagnosed with this type. These individuals have defined attacks of symptoms, which fade away partially or completely before the same or different symptoms reoccur at a later point.
- Primary progressive MS affects around 10-15% of sufferers. For these individuals, symptoms gradually appear and worsen, rather than the pattern of attacks seen in relapsing MS.
- Secondary progressive MS is what often follows relapsing MS, and involves a build-up of disability that doesn’t fluctuate as in relapsing MS.
