Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, meaning that it affects your loved one’s brain. The symptoms of this disease may be subtle to begin with, but over time Parkinson's can affect your loved one’s mobility and mental functioning.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

In order to get your loved one the right care, it’s important you understand the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Some of the most common symptoms include:

• Mobility Loss. Parkinson'smay begin with a stiffness in the limbs and over time can lead to difficulty walking or standing.
• Tremors. Tremors are common in Parkinson’s patients. They may start on one side of their body and increase over time, making it difficult to perform daily tasks.
