What is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a chronic and degenerative neurological disorder that affects motor function and mobility in 1 out of 100 people over age 60. There is no objective test for Parkinson’s disease and symptoms often develop slowly, making misdiagnosis common.

The most noticeable signs of Parkinson’s disease are called the “cardinal” symptoms. These symptoms include tremor, slowness of movement (bradykinesia), balance problems, and rigidity.

Other non-motor symptoms that are common and can vary from person to person include:

• Memory loss and dementia

• Anxiety and depression

• Loss of sense of smell

• Problems with speech and swallowing

• Difficulty sleeping

If your loved one is struggling with symptoms of Parkinson’s, home care from Visiting Angels Rockford can help.
