Parkinson's Care Services

When a loved one is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, daily routines and long-term plans often shift overnight. At Visiting Angels Wayzata, we specialize in helping families adjust to those changes by offering personalized, in-home care for seniors living with Parkinson’s.

Whether your loved one has been recently diagnosed or is currently facing advanced symptoms, our trained caregivers provide thoughtful, hands-on support designed to improve safety, comfort, and independence at home.

We are also proud partners of the Parkinson's Foundation, staying informed on the latest care practices and committed to enhancing quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s disease throughout the Wayzata and west metro area. 

How Parkinson’s Changes Daily Life

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that gradually limits movement, coordination, and communication. While symptoms vary, they commonly include:

• Muscle rigidity or stiffness
• Shaking or tremors, especially in hands
• Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
• Difficulty with balance and walking
• Soft or slurred speech
• Changes in facial expression or handwriting

These symptoms don’t just affect the person diagnosed—they deeply impact the family too. Things like getting dressed, cooking meals, or walking to the bathroom can become unsafe or exhausting without some sort of help.

In-Home Parkinson's Care That Adapts With Progression

At Visiting Angels Wayzata, our Parkinson’s care is built around your loved one’s daily routines, physical needs, and emotional wellbeing. We provide:

• Mobility assistance to reduce fall risks and maintain range of motion
• Personal care help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting
• Medication reminders and routine scheduling
• Meal planning and preparation, including dietary support
• Household help (laundry, light cleaning) to keep the environment safe
• Companionship and conversation to combat isolation and confusion
• Respite care so family caregivers can rest and recharge

Each care plan is customized—and flexible. As your loved one’s condition progresses, we’ll adjust our care to match their needs and comfort.
