A key feature of Almond Care’s complex care services in the home is our proactive approach to understanding each client’s needs and preferences.

For clients with locked-in syndrome, communication can be challenging.

We learn as much as possible directly from the client, while also drawing on the insights from family, friends, medical professionals and other people who know them well.

This approach allows us to create a care plan tailored to the client’s needs, designed to maximise wellbeing and quality of life.

Why the right care matters

Our understanding of clients with locked-in syndrome guides us in selecting the right carers to deliver day-to-day support. This may include ventilation support, tracheostomy care and nutrition support, such as nasogastric and PEG feeding.

We appoint trained and qualified carers experienced in working with people with locked-in syndrome.

Each carer receives client-specific training that reflects the client’s personality, symptoms and severity. Our in-depth understanding of the client also helps us to identify innovative ways for them to communicate and interact with others.

Our team is here to support both the emotional and physical health and overall well-being of clients with locked-in syndrome.
