Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder that affects an individual’s motor skills, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. At Imperial Breeze Healthcare South East, we are committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care for individuals with HD and their families.

Our Approach to Huntington’s Disease Care:

1. Multidisciplinary Team: We assemble a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including neurologists, psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and social workers. This team collaborates to provide holistic care.

2. Early Diagnosis and Assessment: Early diagnosis is critical for individuals with HD. We offer diagnostic services and assessments to determine the extent of the disease’s progression, which informs the care plan.

3. Personalized Care Plans: Each individual with HD has unique needs and challenges. We develop personalized care plans that address specific symptoms, functional limitations, and emotional well-being.

4. Medication Management: Medications can help manage some of the symptoms of HD. We provide medication management services to optimize treatment effectiveness while minimizing side effects.

5. Cognitive Support: HD can lead to cognitive decline. We offer cognitive support and therapies to help individuals maintain their cognitive function and quality of life.

6. Physical and Occupational Therapy: Our physical and occupational therapists work on maintaining mobility, improving motor skills, and enhancing daily living activities.

7. Speech and Swallowing Therapy: HD can affect speech and swallowing. Speech therapists help individuals communicate effectively and address swallowing difficulties.

8. Emotional and Psychological Support: Coping with HD can be emotionally challenging for individuals and their families. We offer counselling, support groups, and strategies for managing emotional well-being.

9. Genetic Counselling: For families with a history of HD, we offer genetic counselling to provide information about the condition, assess risk, and discuss family planning options.

10. Family Education: Families play a vital role in caring for their loved ones with HD. We provide education, resources, and training to help families understand and manage the challenges of HD.

11. Community Resources: We connect individuals with HD and their families to community resources and support networks, ensuring they have access to a supportive community.

12. End-of-Life Care: In the advanced stages of HD, we offer compassionate end-of-life care, focusing on comfort, dignity, and support for individuals and their families.
