Caring for Someone with Motor Neurone Disease (MND)

Every day in Australia, 2 people are diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). This life-changing diagnosis affects not just the individual but also deeply impacts their family and caregivers.

If you're caring for someone with MND, you know how challenging it can be. It might feel overwhelming but you don’t have to face it alone.

We’re here to help and support you through the complexities of caring for someone with MND.

What is Motor Neurone Disease?

Motor Neurone Disease (MND), also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive condition that weakens muscles rapidly. It affects motor neurons—the nerve cells that control breathing, movement, speech and swallowing.

Helping Your Loved One with Motor Neurone Disease (MND)

With the right palliative home care, people with MND can improve their quality of life and manage symptoms more effectively. Here’s how we can support your loved one:

Motor Neurone Disease In Home Care

Managing Fatigue

Fatigue is a common symptom of MND. We assist by planning activities, creating a regular sleep schedule and making your home more comfortable and easier to move around.

Alleviating Pain

Gentle exercises and simple measures like elevating the legs can reduce pain and swelling. Our occupational therapists also focus on maintaining muscle strength and supporting lung function.

Promoting Better Sleep

To encourage restful sleep, we provide light massages, help adjust sleeping positions and offer reassurance to ease discomfort during the night.

Specialised Meal Preparation

We monitor your loved one’s appetite and adjust food textures to prevent choking. From serving smooth or blended meals to teaching safe eating techniques, we ensure they can enjoy meals safely and comfortably.

Specialised Equipment

We provide access to mobility aids, communication tools and respiratory devices to enhance care and maintain connection with your loved one.

Speech and Communication

Our skilled speech therapists work with MND patients to help preserve communication abilities as speech becomes more challenging.
