Hello,
I’m new to this forum. Im seeking some advice and support and thought id give this a try.
My Dad has PPMS, he’s had it for quite a few years. I’m seeking out some advice on at home callout alarms, and organisations or companies who can actually visit the home to help him get up. Even when the family are home with him we struggle to help him get up. Does anyone have any experience with this? Are they helpful and worth looking into?
If anyone has any advice on at home carers who visit a couple of hours a day that would also be great. We are not there yet but likely need to look into this soon. Im feeling a bit stuck at where i can find this stuff out, i’ve tried to look around online and on MS support pages.
I’m also struggling to talk to him about this stuff. Understandably, he does not want to ‘give in’ to additional care. He’s quite dismissive when we try to talk to him and I’m worried he will get hurt if we do not take these steps soon. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach a loved one about their MS? Without making them feel worse?
Thank you,
