Understanding the condition

Epilepsy affects around 1% of the Moroccan population and remains surrounded by social stigma that complicates care. In Marrakech, many patients with epilepsy live alone or with relatives who are poorly informed about what to do during a seizure. Home nursing care makes daily life safer: administering antiepileptic treatment at set times, post-seizure monitoring, teaching the household basic first-aid measures, and blood sampling to check plasma drug levels. Our qualified nurses work in shifts around the clock, providing day or night supervision for patients at risk of severe seizures. Every visit is documented and shared with the treating neurologist.

Why home care for Epilepsy Home Care

An unsupervised epileptic seizure can lead to injury, airway obstruction or status epilepticus, a neurological emergency.

Post-seizure monitoring

Monitoring of vital signs and level of consciousness after each seizure, with an escalation protocol if a seizure is prolonged.

Medication administration

Daily antiepileptic medication at set times, verifying adherence and detecting side effects early.

Day/night supervision

Continuous nurse presence for patients at risk of night-time seizures or falls.

Educating the household

Training the family in first-aid measures: the recovery position, protecting the head and timing the seizure.

Blood level testing

Home blood sampling to check plasma levels of antiepileptic drugs and adjust the dosage with the neurologist.
