Our Approach to Parkinson's Care
As the daily aspects of daily life become increasingly difficult for your loved one suffering from Parkinson's disease, our caregivers have the skills and knowledge it takes to make their life easier and more comfortable. Our caregivers can help your loved one to adapt to their changing environment with a wide range of flexible services. These services not only ease the day to day challenges, but make the process of performing daily activities less frustrating to you and your loved one. Here is a list of Parkinson's care services you may want to consider for your loved one:
- Dressing assistance - When experiencing stiffness and pain, dressing can be a dreaded task for someone with Parkinson's. Our caregiver can assist with this task in a dignified and respectful manner.
- Mobility - Has your loved one experienced "freezing"? This can be frightening to a loved one. Our caregivers can help your loved one through this "loss of movement" through encouragement and support.
- Mealtime - Parkinson's symptoms may include uncontrollable shaking which can make cooking and eating difficult for your loved one. A caregiver can help prepare meals to ensure Dad gets the nutrition he needs to keep up his strength.
- Communication and reporting - Our caregivers will communicate with you on a regular basis regarding cognitive and behavioral changes.
- Respite care - We can give you and your network of support the break they need, when they need it.
- 24-Hour live in care - Our caregivers can be there around the clock offering Dad the comfort and care services he needs, whenever he needs them.
