What Does Our Parkinson’s Care Include?
Nearly one million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson’s disease, and that number is expected to rise to 1.2 million over the next six years. Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder that impacts movement. People with Parkinson’s suffer from tremors, muscle stiffness, and balance and coordination challenges.
A Place At Home’s caretakers are specially trained in Parkinson’s care. Our Parkinson’s disease home care services can be specifically tailored to seniors with physical mobility and mental health issues caused by Parkinson’s. Our services help seniors stay comfortable and safe at home while ensuring they maintain a high-quality, fulfilling life.
Our kind-hearted, professional caregivers help seniors with Parkinson’s by providing:
- A tailored initial care plan assessment explicitly designed for Parkinson’s needs
- Supervision to ensure medications are taken consistently and on schedule
- Support for daily exercise to help slow disease progression
- Nutritional guidance with a focus on low sodium, high fiber, and protein monitoring
- Identification and management of stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms
How Does In-Home Care Benefit Seniors with Parkinson’s?
More than 93% of people age 55 and older want to remain in their homes as long as possible. Our in-home care services enable seniors diagnosed with Parkinson’s to stay in their familiar home environment for as long as possible, reducing stress and improving comfort. One-on-one care from our professionally trained caregivers improves safety. Caregivers can closely monitor your loved one’s condition and respond quickly if they fall. Our caregivers tailor their approach to your senior’s specific needs and routines to improve their quality of life.
Tips for Slowing Progression of Parkinson’s
A Parkinson’s diagnosis can be overwhelming and bring uncertainty about the future. However, with proper treatment and support, people living with Parkinson’s can still enjoy happy and fulfilling lives.
Research on Parkinson’s is constantly evolving, and experts are discovering new ways to help alleviate symptoms. The Parkinson’s Foundation recommends:
- Eating a whole-food, plant-focused diet, including fresh vegetables, fruit and berries, nuts, seeds, fish, and olive and coconut oils
- Taking part in at least 2.5 hours of physical activity per week can help prevent falls
- Visiting a physical therapist with Parkinson’s expertise for functional exercising recommendations
- Talking to your doctor about all available treatments and therapies to decide the best medication paths for you or your loved one
- Trying mindfulness practices and meditation to help manage pain and improve mental health
