Specialist support to manage symptoms, promote independence and enhance quality of life
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a long-term neurological condition that can affect mobility, energy levels, thinking skills and day-to-day independence. As symptoms can fluctuate and change over time, many people benefit from tailored, reliable support at home to help them live safely, comfortably and with confidence. At Rosemont Care, we provide compassionate, personalised MS care at home across Essex, Kent and the surrounding areas, supporting individuals and families through every stage of their journey.
With extensive experience delivering high-quality home care, our dedicated Support Workers understand the complexities of life with MS. We create flexible care plans that adapt to your routines, needs and goals — ensuring your care remains dignified, empowering and completely person-centred.
Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
Multiple Sclerosis is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering around nerves. This disrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to a wide range of symptoms that may come and go or progress gradually over time.
Common MS symptoms include:
-
Muscle stiffness, spasms or weakness
-
Difficulty walking, standing or maintaining balance
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Blurred or double vision
-
Numbness, tingling or changes in sensation
-
Cognitive symptoms such as memory or concentration difficulties
-
Mood changes, including anxiety or depression
Because MS affects everyone differently, consistent monitoring and tailored support play a vital role in maintaining comfort, wellbeing and independence at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
MS is not directly inherited, but genetics can play a role. Having a close family member with MS may slightly increase your risk, though many people with MS have no family history of the condition. A combination of genetic and environmental factors is believed to contribute.
Symptoms vary widely but may include fatigue, numbness or tingling, blurred vision, muscle spasms, difficulty walking, balance issues, cognitive changes, bladder problems, weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, and mood changes. Symptoms can fluctuate, which is why ongoing support and monitoring are so important.
Supporting someone with MS includes helping them maintain mobility, pacing daily activities, offering emotional reassurance, and ensuring their environment is safe and accessible. Assisting with appointments, medication routines and fatigue management can also make a significant difference. Many families find professional home care invaluable in providing consistent, specialised support.
