Huntington's disease - Almond Care

The progressive nature of Huntington’s disease means that care must adapt over time to meet a client’s changing needs.

We build complex home care packages around each client’s symptoms, needs, wishes and chosen lifestyle. Our bespoke care plans are designed to maximise independence and quality of life.

We pay close attention to the way that Huntington’s disease affects the client at present and prepare for how it might progress.

This allows us to adapt care proactively and provide support that can evolve from low-level support to near constant or live-in support in the latter stages.

Supporting day-to-day living

Our carers help clients maintain their existing skills and mobility while supporting them to learn new skills. We focus on managing the emotional and behavioural changes associated with Huntington’s disease, working closely with the client and their family to establish the best way to manage these.

We provide essential day-to-day support with feeding, hygiene, mobility and incontinence management. We are experienced in delivering more complex care, such as ventilation and tube feeding, when needed in the later stages.

Our holistic support means we are able to offer care in other areas, including personal care, housekeeping, socialising and companionship.

By providing integrated care and addressing all the client’s needs, we can help the client enjoy maximum quality of life and independence.
