Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Care
Experienced, compassionate long-term care focused on symptom management, maximizing mobility, and maintaining independence for residents living with advanced MS.
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often progressive neurological disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath covering nerve fibers. This causes communication issues between the brain and the rest of the body.
As a top neurological disorder facility in Cincinnati, we understand that MS is deeply unpredictable. Symptoms can range from mild numbness to severe paralysis, and the progression requires an adaptable, care environment that fosters a high quality of life.
Common Symptoms
- Muscle weakness and severe spasticity
- Chronic fatigue and heat sensitivity
- Difficulty with balance and gait
- Bowel/bladder dysfunction
- Cognitive changes and emotional volatility
