This service is designed to support people with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and their carers.
The MND programme is held in our Sunflower Living Well Centre, which is a purpose built-centre for outpatients, carers and families, complete with its own entrance and reception.
The diagnosis of MND can come as an enormous shock to the person, their families and carers. Everyone affected may feel anxious, fearful or isolated. We can help, by offering emotional and practical support, plus information and signposting.
We offer a monthly programme of structured support for the person with MND and their carer. Due to limited staffing on this day, we can only meet the needs of patients who are either self caring or have their carer with them e.g. to help with feeding & toileting. We also encourage the carer to attend in order to support them in their own right.
The programme runs on the fourth Friday of the month, from 10.30am to 2.30pm.
The group aims to provide a safe, relaxed environment where you can share problems, concerns or experiences with others who are in a similar situation.
To take part in the programme, you’ll need to meet the following criteria:
You have been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), or you are caring for someone who has
You live in the East Cheshire area
