Age-appropriate housing and care
Although just a small minority of people younger than age 65 with MS require institutional care, it is vital for their quality of life that their housing and care are appropriate for their age. In the view of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, the appropriate solution is the availability of a continuum of appropriate housing and care.
