Living with multiple sclerosis can be challenging but you can still live independently.
In-home care services can be an excellent option for individuals with MS who wish to remain in their own homes while receiving the support and assistance they need to manage their symptoms. These services can include assistance with household tasks or mobility support, amongst others, and can help individuals with MS to maintain their independence and quality of life.
Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system that affects around 130,000 people in the UK.
The condition is a result of damage to the coating around the nerves, called myelin. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of thirty and sixty, but some people experience symptoms earlier. As the disease progresses, individuals with MS may experience a range of symptoms, including fatigue, muscle weakness, and difficulty with coordination and balance.
"Supporting people with multiple sclerosis has been incredibly rewarding. Every day is different, but one thing remains constant: the opportunity to make a real difference in someone's life. It's truly inspiring to see how my assistance can positively impact their day and improve their overall well-being. There's nothing quite like the feeling of knowing you've made a meaningful impact in someone's life."
Many people diagnosed with MS are relatively young, so the thought of moving to an elderly care home is unsettling. It makes more sense to receive care at home surrounded by your friends and family.
Tiggo Care provides personalised support to clients with multiple sclerosis that aims to maximise their independence. We'll assist you with any tasks you find difficult. These tasks might include help getting ready in the morning, support around the house with domestic tasks, meal preparation, or support with personal care. When designing care plans we put you first and provide you with the support you want rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all solution.

Our multiple sclerosis home care is based on personal experience
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.
If you like what you've read and are ready to access one of our care services or perhaps just have some questions, please follow our simple 3 step process below.
Send us some additional information about your request by emailing us or by using the form below. Alternatively, if you would prefer to speak with someone directly, please feel free to call us.
Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Multiple sclerosis home care can include a range of services, such as assistance with personal care, mobility support, medication management, and household tasks.
The cost of multiple sclerosis home care varies depending on the level of care needed and the location.
If your loved one is struggling with symptoms related to Multiple Sclerosis, such as muscle weakness, balance issues, fatigue, or cognitive impairment, they may benefit from MS home care services. A care assessment can help determine their specific needs.
Tiggo Care strives to provide continuity of care, which means that you can choose to work with the same care assistant whenever possible. However, if you require more than two visits per day every day of the week we will need to include multiple care assistants in the package to ensure our care assistants can have a break and to comply with working time regulations.
During the initial assessment, we will typically evaluate your needs, preferences, and overall health. We will also ask questions about the home environment and any existing support systems in place. This information will be used to create a personalised care plan.
Contact our care team using the form below or by calling our office and we'll organise a free consultation to advise you on your specific care needs.
