Multiple Sclerosis Home Care in Little Rock, AR

Is your loved one living with MS and struggling with daily tasks at home?

You are not alone. Thousands of families across Little Rock, Conway, Benton, and Central Arkansas are navigating the same challenge every single day.

We provide professional, compassionate in-home care for MS patients across Little Rock and the surrounding Central Arkansas communities. Our caregivers show up when your loved one needs them most, so you can stop worrying and start breathing again.

What Does Multiple Sclerosis Do to Daily Life?

Multiple sclerosis impacts the central nervous system in such a way that it interferes with the communication between the brain and other parts of the body. For this reason, the symptoms exhibited can vary widely from one patient to another.

In Little Rock, fatigue can be among the most difficult symptoms that those who suffer from MS have to cope with. It is not only exhaustion from having spent too much time doing things. Fatigue resulting from MS can strike suddenly and make simple activities extremely difficult. Putting on clothes, having breakfast, showering, and walking around the house can drain all of one’s energy for the day just to start it.

Weakness and balance problems- MS can affect muscle strength, coordination, and balance, which can make everyday movement more difficult. Stairs, getting in and out of the shower, carrying items, or moving around the home may require more time or support than before.

Memory and thinking difficulties – Some people with MS experience have difficulty focusing, remembering details, or keeping track of daily routines. That can make it harder to manage appointments, medications, household tasks, or other responsibilities without reminders and organization.

MS and Bladder/Bowel Issues – Bladder and bowel issues are some of the difficulties faced by MS patients. Such problems are very private and can be quite challenging. It would help to have the assistance of a caregiver who could take care of bathroom visits, dressing up, and bathing.

Mood changes and isolation – Mood disorders like depression and anxiety are among the most common MS symptoms. When you are living in a world that is shrinking around you because your body is behaving unpredictably, you end up feeling lonely.

How We Support MS Patients in Little Rock Every Single Day

A lot of families ask us: “What will a caregiver actually do for my loved one with MS?”

Great question. Here is exactly what our caregivers do for MS patients in Little Rock every day:

Personal Care for Daily Routines : Personal care activities for routine tasks include bathing, dressing, grooming and personal hygiene. When MS renders these activities strenuous and even dangerous, our caregivers will take over with understanding and due consideration for your loved one’s privacy and dignity.

Meal preparation and nutrition : It takes a lot of effort to prepare a meal especially when MS-related symptoms are more pronounced on certain days. Our caregivers can assist with shopping for groceries, preparation of the meal, serving and clean-up. This would ensure that your loved one is provided access to his/her favorite foods.

Medication reminders : MS treatment plans often involve multiple medications at specific times. Our caregivers make sure your loved one never misses a dose.

Safe mobility and fall prevention : Falls are one of the biggest risks for MS patients at home. Our caregivers assist with walking, transfers, and navigating the home safely. We also identify hazards before accidents happen.

Light housekeeping. Laundry, dishes, vacuuming, tidying up. When your loved one’s energy is limited, keeping the house clean should not be their burden.

Transportation around Little Rock :Appointments at UAMS Medical Center, Baptist Health, CHI St. Vincent, physical therapy, the pharmacy. Our caregivers get your loved one there safely and back home again.

Companionship and emotional support : Suffering from Multiple Sclerosis is an experience that makes one’s daily routine more isolated when fatigue, mobility, and other symptoms impede going out and keeping contact with other people. Apart from assisting us in our home, the caregiver gives company through conversation, discussion, and various activities together.

Personal companionship can make a meaningful difference in a person’s day. It gives clients someone familiar to talk with, helps reduce feelings of loneliness, and brings more connection and routine into life at home.

Wondering if this is what your loved one needs? Call us today (501) 214-1911. We will come to your home, talk with your family, and put together a care plan built around your loved one’s specific situation.

Is In-Home MS Care Right for Your Loved One?

  • Your loved one is spending most of their time alone and seems withdrawn

FAQs - About MS Home Care

Can a home caregiver help during an MS relapse?

Yes. When a relapse hits, we can increase hours or adjust the care plan quickly to give your loved one the extra support they need during that period. You do not have to figure it out alone.

Do I need a doctor's referral to start home care?

No referral is needed for non-medical home care. You can call us directly and we will set up a free consultation right away.

How is MS home care different from skilled nursing?

Our caregivers provide non-medical support including personal care, meals, mobility assistance, medication reminders, and companionship. For medical procedures or skilled nursing services, we work alongside your loved one’s medical team at UAMS or Baptist Health.

How quickly can care start in Little Rock?

After your free in-home consultation we work to get your loved one matched with a caregiver as quickly as possible, often within a few days. Call (501) 214-1911 and tell us your timeline.

Does insurance cover MS home care in Arkansas?

What if my loved one does not like their caregiver?

We take the match seriously from the start. But if something is not working, we will fix it. Finding the right fit for your loved one is our responsibility, not yours.

My dad is an 84-year-old retired veteran who lives alone. After several falls and emergency room visits, my brother and I realized it was time to have someone regularly checking on him and assisting with walking and personal hygiene to help ensure his safety. While his mind remains sharp and he makes good decisions, his body has simply started showing its age. Unfortunately, my brother and I could not be with him every day. I reached out to A Place At Home in 2022 and met with the owner and RN. What stood out to me immediately was how relationship-oriented and caring they were, rather than making it feel like just another business transaction. They also helped us navigate obtaining payment for care through the VA, which was a tremendous help. We have continued using their services ever since. My dad now has a caregiver 7 days a week for 3 hours each day. I cannot fully describe the peace of mind it gives me knowing that someone is checking on him daily and assisting with his needs. Because he has caregiver support, when I spend time with my dad, I get to simply be his daughter and enjoy visiting with him rather than focusing entirely on caregiving responsibilities. His caregivers have truly gone above and beyond in providing companionship, kindness, and assistance that allow him to continue living independently in his own home. My dad has rated his last four caregivers all as “10s,” which says a great deal about the quality of care and relationships they have built with him.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about A Place At Home - Little Rock. Everyone is easygoing yet incredibly professional, experienced, and deeply compassionate. You can instantly feel how much they genuinely care about seniors and their families. They don’t just do their jobs, they go above and beyond in every possible way. Natalie is absolutely amazing. She is so warm-hearted and truly cares, not only about the clients, but also about every employee who serves others with such dedication. Darretta, the community liaison, is outgoing, easy to work with, and deeply caring. She makes every interaction feel effortless and meaningful. They are some of the kindest people you will ever meet, and it shows in the quality of care they provide. I could not recommend them more for your loved one’s care. If you’re looking for compassion, professionalism, and people who truly have heart, this is the team. 💖

We have been with A Place at Home for only a week and we are amazed at how incredibly patient and professional my dad’s caregiver is. Charlesetta is kind, attentive, and prepared for whatever Dad needs. She is immediately responsive when we have questions about what we should do to help him. We just can’t sing her praises loud enough. We are so grateful to Charlesetta and the wonderful staff at A Place at Home for the support they have given our family at a time of transition for our dad. Thank you.

I live in Mabelvale, AR, and A Place at Home has been providing in-home care for my 86-year-old mom. I’ve had a very positive experience with their team. The caregivers are kind, patient, and genuinely attentive to her needs. They show up on time, communicate well, and treat my mom with respect and compassion — which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, dependable in-home care for a loved one near Mabelvale, Jacksonville or Maumelle, AR.
