Parkinson's Care in Rochester Hills

When a senior parent is living alone and struggling with everyday tasks due to the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, it can be a challenging time for the whole family.

Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects motor skills and emotions, affecting over one million people in the United States alone. While Parkinson’s disease itself is not considered life-threatening, complications of the illness can be fatal.  

The most commonly recognized signs of Parkinson’s disease are movement symptoms that include:

• Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)

• Rigidity in limbs and muscles

• Tremor in hands and arms

• Festination (short, rapid steps)

• Freezing (the appearance of being stuck in place)

Non-motor symptoms can be equally problematic and can include:

• Loss of sense of smell

• Problems with language and memory

• Depression and anxiety

• Hallucinations and delusions

• Uncontrollable movements while sleeping

If symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are making everyday tasks difficult for your loved one, Parkinson’s care from Visiting Angels Rochester Hills can be the helping hand they need to live comfortably.
