Are there long term care facilities specifically for MS patients? People are usually much younger than nursing home residents. . . .

There is one in Boise, (Good Samaritan). Does MS, brain 🧠 injuries short and long term care. I was there doing short term care for cancer ♋️ and met several people with MS. 30’ to 60’s. Nice facility, was there couple months 👍🙏😊 Ken 🐾🐾

My sister in law is the assistant administrator at this facility. She has been there over 26 years. This is a non profit facility and own over 200 now. Just had to throw in more info 👍🙏😊

Hi and welcome to the forum. I am sorry but I don’t know of any as I live in the U.K., but maybe if you give MSAA a call they will be able to help you. Blessings Jimeka 😊

There is a facility in York Pennsylvania called Margaret Moul. My sister who had MS (since passed away) lived in that facility and they cater to younger adults. It seemed like a very nice place.
