At Visiting Angels, our home care solutions include helping seniors in Adrian, Jacksom, Brooklyn, Onsted and surrounding areas in South Central Michigan manage symptoms of Parkinson's while continuing to age in place at home

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by stiffness and difficulty with movement. As the symptoms shift from mild to severe, older adults in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s are unable to perform even simple manual tasks with precision. By the later stages of the disease, most patients require high levels of care and assistance.

At Visiting Angels South Central Michigan, we provide personalized home care solutions in Adrian, Jackson, Brooklyn and surrounding communities designed to help seniors continue to live independently at home, regardless of any age-related challenges or medical conditions they might be struggling with.

If your loved one has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, our team can provide expert Parkinson’s care for your family. We can develop a personalized care plan in accordance with your loved one’s symptoms and specific needs.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Like with many chronic conditions, the symptoms of Parkinson’s may be very subtle, almost invisible, during the onset. Nonetheless, as the disease slowly progresses, your loved one’s mobility and mental functioning are likely to be severely affected.

Individuals affected by Parkinson’s most commonly experience the following symptoms:

• Frequent shaking and recurring tremors
• Gradual decline in mobility
• Balance and mobility issues
• Proneness to depression and/or anxiety
• Sleeping disorders
• Lack of comprehension
