Did you know that millions of American families have loved ones who suffer from multiple sclerosis? Sadly, it’s true and the disease has a way of complicating their lives like no other. For instance, it may cause someone to lose their speech, vision, memories and ability to walk from one end of a room to another without falling. There are also those individuals who end up paralyzed and unable to care for themselves at home. They often rely on the services of our home health care agency in Florida for companionship and assistance. That’s why we’re joining our fellow Americans in welcoming National MS Education & Awareness Month.

Multiple sclerosis comes in several forms and can strike at any age. Consequently, its management requires a customized approach that is the keystone of home care. As such, we work with MS patients and their families to find a level of service that is right for them. Plus, we understand that MS is a progressive disease. So, we are flexible enough to alter care plans as needed. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if a patient is in the throes of secondary-progressive MS or progressive-relapsing MS, our caregivers will provide precisely the right amount of care and emotional support.

Many people also wonder if home care costs for multiple sclerosis patients are covered by insurance. In reality, it all depends on the level of home care and the types of insurances the person has at his or her disposal. For example, Veteran’s benefits typically covers the cost of home health aide services for patients with multiple sclerosis providing that certain conditions are met. The same may be said for certain types of long-term care insurance. To learn more about multiple sclerosis and how home care agencies in Florida may help, please contact us at Best Care today.
