🖼️ Supporting health, comfort, and understanding with ICH Somerset 🖼️

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH) in Somerset, we provide specialist care for young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Our devoted team understands that everyday ailments such as headaches or migraines can be overwhelming when you can’t verbally communicate how you feel.

🤯 Because it was Migraine Awareness Week last week, we felt now was a good time to look at this topic. Migraines aren’t just “bad headaches”, they involve throbbing pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and can last for hours or days. For someone who can’t use words to say “I’m unwell,” their distress can easily be misdiagnosed and be incorrectly untreated.

🔎 At ICH, we spot non-verbal cues through:

Regular comfort checks and pain-scale aids using facial expression cards and body language

Close collaboration with families and healthcare professionals to adjust care plans promptly

Logging subtle changes in behaviour, restlessness, rocking or grimacing.

📊 Our carers respond immediately when distress is spotted. We use quiet, dimly lit rooms with soft music to ease sensory overload. Where appropriate, we will give gentle massage or cool compresses, and have hydration routines tailored to each individual. And we will always make a medical referral where appropriate.

This proactive approach means fewer missed signs, faster relief, and happier, more comfortable days.

🖼️ A picture says a thousand words at ICH Somerset 🖼️

Printed photographs invite the young we support to feel the paper, trace the edges, and share stories from village fetes, gardening groups, or day trips.

🏡 Our profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD community care service in Somerset is about more than practical support. We provide opportunities that build friendships, foster independence, and celebrate each person’s unique strengths.
