Private Parkinson's Home Care

Living with parkinson’s disease can be emotionally, socially and physically demanding. In advanced stages, symptoms become more severe, and the individual diagnosed with parkinson’s will require varying levels of assistance with daily living. Clients requiring parkinson’s care at home means we offer the care and support needed for individuals to remain in their own homes, and maintain their independence and quality of life for as long as possible.

Some signs that may indicate that it is time to consider extra support include difficulty managing daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and cooking. Falls, increased muscle stiffness, difficulty with movement, challenges managing medications, and frequent hospital admissions may also indicate a need for additional support. You may decide that your loved one would benefit from care in the home to help them manage their condition.

There are many types of home care services that are available for people living with Parkinson’s disease. Care services you may require include live-in care arrangements, personal care, medication management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and emotional support. Cavendish Homecare can assist with timely medications to reduce and manage symptoms such as muscle stiffness and difficulties with balance and coordination.

Ensuring a safe living environment is essential when caring for people living with Parkinson’s disease. This can include removing tripping hazards, such as rugs or loose cords, and installing grab bars in the bathroom to prevent falls. In addition to physical safety, it’s important to be emotionally supportive of your loved one as they navigate the challenges of Parkinson’s disease. Caring for those living with Parkinson’s disease can be difficult to manage, so it is vital to remain patient and flexible as their needs change over time due to memory problems and cognitive changes.
