The MS Society has reached agreement with Norfolk Social Services to contract a 'respite bed' at Meadow House in Swaffham.
Some of you may already be familiar with this home, which provides 24 hour nursing care with some rehabilitation services for 28 long-term residents with physical disabilities.
Meadow House already has one respite bed. This second bed is solely for the use of people with MS primarily from within the Norfolk locality. However, spare weeks can be taken up by people from neighbouring areas. Respite bookings should be made through a social worker.
