1
Chorea-aware support
Safe transfer and personal care for participants with involuntary movements. Workers trained to keep both parties safe.
Huntington's Disease
Huntington's affects the whole family. We support all of it.
Huntington's is a movement disorder, a cognitive change, a behavioural shift, and a genetic reality for the family at the same time. WEYA workers are trained for all four.
What WEYA actually does
The clinical specifics, not the brochure.
2
Behaviour and impulse literacy
Understanding the behavioural component as a clinical feature, not a personality flaw.
3
Nutrition and feeding
Calorie support, modified textures, PEG transition when needed.
4
Family system care
Awareness of the genetic implications for siblings and children, with appropriate referrals when families ask.

The fears we hear most
Named honestly. Answered clinically.
“Workers cannot manage chorea safely during care.”
Our response
Movement-disorder competency confirmed before any shift.
“The behavioural component is treated as personality.”
Our response
We train the team to read it as the clinical feature it is. De-escalation is default.
“Nutrition decline is missed.”
Our response
Weight and intake monitored and documented. PEG transition supported when the time comes.
