How Visiting Angels Can Help Seniors with Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a complex neurodegenerative brain disorder, significantly affecting body movements, notably causing symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and impaired balance. This progressive disease will eventually require comprehensive care and support to minimize falls and reduce complications, ensuring a better outcome. 

Caregivers, family, and support groups play a critical role in navigating challenges and adapting to the disease’s progression. As the disease advances, your loved one may begin to require daily, then round-the-clock care to maintain safety and well-being in their home. 

Visiting Angels Milford has compassionate, experienced caregivers available to help individuals with Parkinson’s disease through practical, emotional, and physical support in the comfort of home, including 24-hour home care, palliative care, personal care, and other personalized home care services. Your loved one's dedicated caregiver will assist with daily living activities, meal preparation, running errands, medication reminders, and more. In addition, their responsibilities often extend beyond assisting with daily tasks to companionship, emotional support, advocacy, and coordination of care.
