Cerebral palsy care plans
What is a cerebral palsy care plan?
A cerebral palsy care plan can help you or your loved one maintain an independent life at home.
According to the NHS, “Cerebral palsy is the name for a group of lifelong conditions that affect movement and co-ordination.” We understand that this condition can limit your everyday activity, but it is still possible to live an independent life with the proper care.
At Helping Hands, we strive to provide unique and empathetic support to individuals living with cerebral palsy, enabling them to continue living life on their own terms. Our care plans, delivered on a visiting and live-in basis, are tailored to your or your loved one’s specific needs. This includes support with dressing, mobility, medication, and household duties. So, rest assured, you will be in good hands.
