What Is Motor Neurone Disease Care?
Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive disease that affects the brain and nerves. NMD reduces mobility, causes weakness and has an impact on speech. Motor neurone disease symptoms can vary for each person. Everyone’s experience with the conditions is different. That’s why we listen to what brings you happiness in life and mould your MND care plan to keep your independence. Simultaneously we provide you with the right assistance that keeps you living a happy and fulfilled life.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive disease that affects the brain and nerves. NMD reduces mobility, causes weakness and has an impact on speech. Motor neurons are cells in the brain that send messages to the muscles. MND is caused when these cells gradually stop working.
Common MND symptoms include Muscle cramps, twitches, slurred speech, weak grip and weakness in legs.
Motor neurone disease is a progressive condition. As time passes symptoms will get worse and the need for care will increase. Care is normally needed when symptoms start to interfere with daily life.
