Parkinson's Care in Montgomery
Parkinson's disease is a chronic and degenerative neurological disorder that interferes with movement, causing issues such as shaky hands and unsteady walking. As it progresses, it produces a wide range of other problems, such as confusion and fatigue. When your loved one is facing a diagnosis, it can be a devastating experience. But it's not a journey you have to walk alone with at-home Parkinson's care from Visiting Angels® Montgomery. We offer a variety of compassionate, non-medical care services to seniors throughout Montgomery, AL.
Parkinson's Care: How Visiting Angels Montgomery Can Help
Parkinson's affects nerve cells in deep parts of the brain. These nerves produce the neurotransmitter dopamine and are responsible for communication between the mind and body. As the disease advances, it kills off these dopamine-producing nerve cells, causing movement issues, including tremors, slowness, stiffness, and imbalances.
While there is no cure for Parkinson's, there are many ways to help individuals manage the disease and maintain their quality of life. One of them is with at-home Parkinson's care provided by Visiting Angels Montgomery. Some services we can offer to your loved one include:
- Assistance with mobility to limit the risk of falls
- Compassionate personal care services to provide support while bathing and dressing
- Meal planning, grocery shopping, and preparation of well-balanced, nutritious dishes
- Joyful companionship so your loved one feels connected and cared for, avoiding the onset of depression and withdrawal
- Respite care to give you and your family a much-needed break
