Managing MS through PCA Choice: Jonathan’s Story

Jonathan navigates daily challenges with assistance from PCA Choice services

A veteran from Saint Paul who served as an engineer, Jonathan once held the highest physical training score in his unit. But his life shifted dramatically when he suddenly lost vision in his left eye. An MRI revealed Jonathan had multiple sclerosis (MS), which impacted his physical abilities, speech, memory, and cognitive function—making even the simplest of movements a mental and physical challenge.

Now, more than a decade after his diagnosis, Jonathan talks about his experience with the support provided by Accra’s PCA services. From helping with basic daily tasks like cooking, vacuuming, and showering, to being a consistent presence on his hardest days, Accra has become a vital part of Jonathan’s life. “What I need is kind of a life-or-death situation,” Jonathan explains. “Some days, I don’t know how I function—but I’ve always been able to count on Accra.”
