While neurological conditions are life-limiting, the life expectancy of someone with such a conditions can vary widely. Some individuals live for many years or even decades. Consequently, the care required for someone with these conditions can be complex and diverse, depending on their individual needs. Some clients may maintain a high level of independence with a small care team assisting with daily tasks, while others may need more intensive interventions and full-time support. Regardless of your requirements, we are here to help you live well at home.
