Motor neurone disease (MND) is a serious condition that affects the nerve cells controlling muscle movement, leading to weakness and loss of mobility. This impacts daily activities and overall quality of life. In-home care offers a support solution by providing tailored care and assistance within the comfort of one’s home. This approach helps people living with MND maintain independence and receive specialised care. 

We deliver high-quality, compassionate in-home care at Prestige Inhome Care, ensuring people living with MND receive the personalised support they need to live comfortably and independently.
