Experts in caring for neurological conditions
At MSH Healthcare, we provide comprehensive care and support for people across a range of neurodegenerative conditions such as Dementia, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Motor Neurone Disease – offering both long-term care and rehabilitation in a comfortable and supportive environment, working closely with the individual, their family and wider support networks to create a personalised care programme. Regulated by the Care Quality Commission, we provide continuous care in the home to people living with a whole range of neurological conditions, whether they’re acquired or hereditary.
Focusing on behaviour, cognition and mobility, we offer assessments based on key areas such as everyday life skills, cognitive skills and involvement in the local community. We tailor support to individuals’ needs and encourage and motivate people to maintain or increase their independence through therapeutic, leisure and social activities.
We’re experienced in helping people across Cumbria and the North West who’ve been living with their condition for a life-time or after a sudden onset event, such as a head injury, stroke or cancer of the brain or spine.
Our experienced nurses and carers are trained to an exceptional standard in caring for people who have neurodegenerative disorders. We also work closely with external multi-disciplinary teams to make sure that the individual receives the appropriate levels of care and support.
Our complex care services in England are licensed and regulated to provide dementia care by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Our nursing services elsewhere in Britain are registered and inspected by the relevant Care Inspectorates in Scotland and Wales.
What is Dementia?
Dementia describes a set of symptoms, not a specific disease or condition. These symptoms may include memory loss and issues with problem-solving or language. Symptoms often start small but gradually worsen. Ultimately, they have an adverse effect on day-to-day life.
The symptoms defined as dementia are caused when the brain is damaged. That might be by a disease like Alzheimer’s or by a stroke or series of strokes. The specific symptoms depend on the part of the brain that’s been affected and the disease causing it. That’s why it’s so important for dementia care at home to be tailored to each individual person.
Cognitive symptoms are the most widely recognised signs of dementia. They include the following:
- Short-term memory loss
- Between £14,250 and £23,250
- Inability to concentrate
- Language problems
Common changes in behaviour in those with dementia can include:
- Frustration and irritability
- Repetitive behaviour
- Agitation and restlessness
- Hiding, hoarding and losing things
What is Dementia?
MSH Complex Care take a holistic view of dementia care. We believe that dementia care is more than just helping an individual cope with their symptoms and also focus on ensuring that the individual has a great quality of life.
Our nurses and carers empathise with each individual and will work to their personalised dementia care plan, with each care plan being routinely assessed and adapted as symptoms develop.
Our dementia care at home plans can include:
Medication – Staff who are trained to administer and support with medicines can remind people to remember to take their medication or administer it themselves
Personal care – Assistance washing, dressing or using the toilet whilst always keeping the dignity of the individual in mind
Household chores – Doing the laundry, tidying up and completing other household chores
Meal preparation – Dementia sufferers often fail to eat properly. Our staff can prepare meals and ensure clients eat healthily.
Independence and hobbies – Taking a proactive approach to ensure that service users get out to see friends and participate in hobbies or visit events
