Parkinson's Care in Palm Coast
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting certain parts of the brain. The disease is progressive and often goes undetected until the more advanced stages, when motor symptoms become more obvious. It is estimated that Parkinson's affects at least 1 million people in the United States and 10 million worldwide. When most people think of Parkinson's disease, they think of the motor symptoms such as tremor. However, the non-motor affects of the disease can be harder to manage. If you have a loved one who has been diagnosed, Parkinson's care referrals from Visiting Angels® Palm Coast FL can help your loved one manage the disorder.
