How to Communicate with Your Loved One Who Has Parkinson's

Parkinson's Care Services

90,000 people will be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the United States this year. Visiting Angels is here to help, as PD can have life-changing effects on those living with the disease and can make simple tasks like bathing, dressing, sleeping, and walking difficult and frustrating.  Loved ones living with Parkinson's have to make adjustments to their lifestyle, and daily or 24/7 care assistance may be needed as the disease progresses, especially for those living alone. Home care agencies can provide assistance, but many agencies lack training in Parkinson's specific care. 

Visiting Angels and Parkinson's Care

Visiting Angels West Metro is a Parkinson's care specialist. Our nurses and caregivers are trained to help people living with PD manage the unique challenges of their condition. As an active member of the Community Partners in Parkinson's Care, our staff receives a full curriculum of Parkinson's education to equip Visiting Angels to provide the best possible Parkinson's Disease care.

If your loved one has PD and you are concerned about their ability to continue living independently, consider in-home care services from Visiting Angels West Metro. Our trained home care providers allow individuals living with Parkinson's to remain in their own homes. Our caregivers ensure the safety and well-being of our clients and provide peace of mind for their families.  Here are just a few examples of the types of assistance we can provide:

• Ambulation
• Assistance with ADLs
• Reminders to take medications
• Fall prevention
• Home safety recommendations and assistance
• Meal planning and preparation
• Eating assistance
• Companionship
