If you or your loved one has Multiple Sclerosis, you can relate to these symptoms. We fully understand how it feels like to have a family member slowly and gradually losing control over his life, daily activities, choices, and hobbies. Let Live-in Care Direct be a part of it by helping you out.
Multiple Sclerosis Care at Live-in Care Direct
Live-in Care direct provides 24/7 home care service with expert professionals. We understand that a person diagnosed with MS has to make a choice: give up or change his lifestyle entirely, accepting the fact that he has to live with his incapacities, both physical and psychological. Not only that, a patient with MS puts the entire family to test. In such conditions, you have to help your beloved family member make the right decision and provide them fully with the help and support they need. If this is yourself, self-care cannot be over-emphasized!
Importance of Specialized Live-in Care for MS Patients?
You or your family member with MS deserves and needs 24/7 live-in care for help and support with daily tasks as small as picking something up (this gets tough when you have MS) to preparing meals, buying groceries, and washing dishes and clothes, sometimes even for dialing a call. And then comes the fact that people with MS are more prone to contract mental health issues for obvious reasons. They need someone to keep a check on that too. Only a professional, 24/7 care provider can do that. Live-in care at home caters to all the needs of such patients and their families. Contact us now for consultation and discussion of the package you want.
People with MS, both who give up or go the stronger way, need immense care with attention, affection, and support. At Live-in Care Direct, this refers to professional, informed care that encompasses assistance with daily tasks, keeping himself sane, and general companionship throughout the day. It becomes crucial when the patient is temporarily or permanently confined to his home due to the functional compromises.

Common questions
Questions about multiple sclerosis care
What families ask us before arranging care.
Not seeing your question?
Our care managers answer these every day. A no-obligation call takes about ten minutes.
0800 368 8558Lines open 8am–10pm, seven days a week See all questionsHow much does multiple sclerosis care cost?
Prices for multiple sclerosis care start at £1,200 a week. That is one fixed weekly fee covering everything in the agreed care plan, rather than an hourly rate that rises as needs grow. For couples, one carer can support two people under a single fee. See our pricing page for the full breakdown, or use the cost calculator for an estimate based on your own situation.
How quickly can care start?
In most cases we can have a carer in place within a week. For urgent situations — a hospital discharge, a fall, or a family carer suddenly unable to continue — we can often arrange cover within 24 to 48 hours.
Who will the carer be, and do we get a choice?
You choose. We send profiles of matched, available carers and you decide, including a video call beforehand if you would like one. It is the same carer each day rather than a rota, so they learn the routine and notice small changes early. Every carer is enhanced DBS checked, referenced and interviewed in person before we introduce them.
What does the carer actually do day to day?
Personal care, medication prompting and administration, meal preparation, light housework, laundry, shopping, appointments and companionship — all shaped around the agreed care plan. The aim is that daily life continues as normally as possible, in familiar surroundings.
Is this better than moving into a care home?
It depends on the person, and we will say so honestly if a care home is the better answer. What live-in care offers is one-to-one attention rather than shared staffing, no upheaval from a familiar home, pets and routines kept, and visitors whenever you like. For couples it is usually far better value than two residential placements.
Can we get help paying for it?
Often, yes. Depending on circumstances and where you live, support may come through a local authority assessment, NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance or a personal budget. Our funding guide explains what to apply for and in what order, and our care managers will talk it through without obligation.
Where we work
Multiple Sclerosis Care across the UK, Scotland & Ireland
We arrange care in 800+ towns and cities. Choose your area for local pricing, funding and how care is regulated where you live.
- Carers travel to you — they move into the home rather than driving from a local branch, so rural and coastal areas are covered too.
- The same weekly price everywhere — care is priced on the support needed, never on your postcode.
- Care can start in 24–48 hours in most areas, and often the same day after a hospital discharge.
