Parkinson's Disease Care

Living with Parkinson’s disease presents daily challenges—not just for the person diagnosed, but for the entire family. At

Visiting Angels Chaska, we provide compassionate, in-home support tailored specifically for individuals living with Parkinson’s, helping them maintain dignity, independence, and a higher quality of life at home.

How Parkinson’s Disease Impacts Daily Living

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. Over time, the symptoms of tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and changes in speech can make simple daily tasks increasingly difficult.

For many families in Chaska, Eden Prairie, Chanhassen, Victoria, and nearby communities, supporting seniors living with Parkinson’s disease can become very overwhelming without the right help.

Common challenges among individuals living with Parkinson's include:

• Difficulty with walking and mobility
• Increased risk of falls
• Trouble eating and swallowing
• Changes in sleep patterns and mood
• Fatigue and difficulty completing tasks independently

Our Parkinson's Care Services

At Visiting Angels Chaska, we understand that Parkinson’s affects each person differently. That’s why we create personalized care plans that can be adapted as your their needs change.

Our caregivers are able to assist with:

• Mobility support and fall prevention strategies
• Personal care assistance like bathing, grooming, and dressing
• Medication reminders and routine scheduling
• Meal preparation and assistance with eating
• Light housekeeping to maintain a safe home environment
• Emotional support and companionship to reduce isolation
• Transportation to local appointments and physical therapy

We also offer respite care for family caregivers who need a break or help managing their loved one’s complex care routines.

Compassionate Support

Our team has witnessed how consistent, trusting care can make a big difference for those living with Parkinson’s Disease. One family shared these words:

“Our dad’s tremors worsened and he was starting to fall a lot. Our Visiting Angels caregiver was so patient and calm, she helped him walk with confidence and offered him conversation that made his days brighter and gave him something to look forward to. We honestly couldn’t have done it without them.”

While every family has a different story, the goal at Visiting Angels remains the same: to make life safer, more comfortable, and more fulfilling for seniors living with Parkinson’s disease.
