Frequently Asked Questions
In-home care also offers high-quality care, the same as in-person facility care, but is more personalised, focused, and flexible, which allows people with MS to stay in their familiar environment. This reduces stress and anxiety from travel, helping conserve energy and avoid fatigue.
People with MS can travel safely and comfortably through United For Care’s in-home care. Carers or assigned drivers will assist patients with mobility needs, medical supplies, and medications, which helps eliminate travel stress and fatigue and ensures an enjoyable journey.
In-home care includes regular visits from highly trained and experienced carers who assist with daily activities, provide medical and therapeutic support, among others, that create a safe living environment tailored to the patient's needs.
Carers can suggest modifications to improve accessibility and safety, such as installing ramps or grab bars, to ensure the home is suitable for in-home care. If you need assistance, we can help you access the right NDIS support for home modifications through our support coordination service here.
Carers adjust care plans and activities based on the patient's current condition, providing appropriate support for fluctuating symptoms and energy levels.
