Parkinson's Disease
When Parkinson's disease robs individuals of their ability to control their movements, Home Care Assistance can make life easier at home. Even as symptoms progress, a caregiver can help extend the quality of life of people with Parkinson's – while also providing respite for the family
Hourly to 24/7 Live-In Care
Our caregivers provide assistance at any stage of the disease – helping accomplish tasks as needed to allow people with Parkinson's to function as independently as possible. We help with:
- • Transportation and errands
- • Meal preparation and good nutrition
- • Personal hygiene, bathing and dressing
- • Medication reminders
- • Companionship and activities
- • Emotional support for patient and family
Maintaining Physical Activity
Often the caregiver can help individuals maximize and maintain existing function as long as possible by working with their physical therapist to aid in practicing exercises. Caregivers can also help flexibility through massage or by encouraging other forms of movement.
The Importance of Home
Even in advanced stages, a Home Care Assistance caregiver enables people with Parkinson's to continue living in the familiar environment of home. Access to favorite foods, pets, possessions and neighbors brings a sense of connection that makes their life more enjoyable.
