Specialist myasthenia gravis care delivered at home across Egham. Trained, DBS-checked carers, person-centred plans and CQC oversight.
Our carers understand the fluctuating weakness of myasthenia gravis and provide flexible support with swallowing, mobility, and daily tasks.
Nestled along the banks of the Thames and home to Royal Holloway University, Egham is a charming Surrey town with a strong community spirit. The High Street, Runnymede meadows, and proximity to Windsor Great Park make it a wonderful place to live - and to receive care at home. Our office at 80 High Street means we're right at the centre of the community we serve.
For Egham residents managing myasthenia gravis, we coordinate closely with St Peter's Hospital, Chertsey and local NHS teams. Being just 0 miles from our Egham office means we can arrange care quickly - often within 24 hours. This includes liaising with consultants, community nurses, and specialist teams to ensure your care plan reflects the latest medical guidance.
If you or a loved one in Egham is experiencing any of the following, it may be time to consider professional myasthenia gravis support at home:
Myasthenia gravis care accounts for the distinctive pattern of muscle weakness that worsens with use and improves with rest. Our carers schedule demanding activities for when medication is at peak effectiveness - typically 1-2 hours after pyridostigmine doses. Swallowing is monitored closely as bulbar weakness can make eating dangerous; we modify food textures as needed and watch for choking. Eye symptoms - drooping eyelids, double vision - are managed with rest periods and eye patches if needed. We time personal care, meals, and activities around medication cycles. During myasthenic crises (sudden worsening), we recognise the emergency and call 999 immediately. Medication timing is strict and must not be missed. We distinguish between myasthenic crisis and cholinergic crisis (too much medication) and communicate observations to the neurology team.
Care for myasthenia gravis evolves as the condition progresses. We start with the level of support you need now and increase it gradually, ensuring your care plan always matches your current abilities. Our carers are trained to anticipate changing needs and adapt proactively.
