Multiple Sclerosis care from Helping Hands gives you the opportunity to receive specialist care for your condition without having to leave the comfortable, secure surroundings of your own home.
At Helping Hands, we’ve got over 30 years’ experience in enabling our customers to live more independently and confidently through our dedicated home care. When you choose us as your care partner, we’ll be able to provide you with a fully bespoke multiple sclerosis care plan that is perfectly suited to your needs.

Paying for Multiple Sclerosis Care
Because we’re a private care provider, rather than a care agency, we directly employ all our carers. This is beneficial for you because, unlike many agencies, we’re completely upfront about the total cost of your care and we’ll never ask you to pay for any hidden extras or unexpected add-ons.
Most of our customers pay for their care privately, but we do also accept direct payments if you’re eligible for funding. Please feel free to call our care advisers seven days a week for further guidance regarding your funding options.
Possible Funding Options
Assessing your funding options for multiple sclerosis care can be a difficult, confusing process. The sheer amount of information available online regarding care funding can make it difficult to figure out what exactly is relevant to your situation, and what you might be eligible for. Thankfully, our wonderful customer care team are available seven days a week to help you work out whether you might be able to access any funding to help pay for your care. We want to make sure your care journey is as straightforward and stress-free as possible, so please feel free to ask us any questions you may have regarding paying for your care and we’ll do our very best to assist you.
