Physical Disabilities

ICCM's physical disabilities service focuses upon supporting people with degenerative neurological conditions, at home, such as -

Multiple Sclerosis
Motor Neurone Disease
Cerebral Palsy
Muscular Dystrophy
Huntington’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease

ICCM’s approach to care at home has always been Person – Centred. This is evident from the start of our involvement with a new individual –

  • Full assessment of individual needs
  • Care team selection, with full client & family involvement
  • Care team trained in the individual needs of their client
  • Support & training by ICCM professionals
  • Development of long-term care plan, with the client
  • Case management to maximise service delivery

An ICCM Case Manager, with experience in degenerative neurological conditions, manages the support programme.

All care teams within our Physical Disability service receive training aligned to their client’s needs. Advanced care skills are developed (e.g. gastrostomy feeding, tracheostomy management, skin care).

ICCM clients lead fulfilling lives, which can be achieved with the right plans and support from –

  • Specialist nursing
  • Neuro-psychology
  • Occupational therapy

Care plans are reviewed and adjusted to include more purposeful and beneficial activities.

Good Practice

“People with complex needs who require skilled input from a number of professionals have a named individual (e.g. case manager) who is responsible for coordinating the input from all relevant agencies and producing a care plan"
