Specialty Care
Parkinson's Disease Care
Support tuned to tremor, rigidity, freezing, and the strict medication timing that Parkinson's care depends on.
Medication timing is the whole game
Parkinson's medications work on tight schedules. A dose taken thirty minutes late can mean hours of reduced mobility. Caregivers working with Parkinson's clients are trained to treat medication timing as a non-negotiable part of the shift.
Daily support
- Medication reminders on an exact schedule
- Safe transfer and mobility assistance, including freezing episodes
- Fall prevention and home modification
- Help with fine-motor tasks, buttons, utensils, writing
- Meal preparation accounting for swallowing difficulty and protein timing
- Support with prescribed physical, occupational, and speech therapy exercises
- Patience with slowed speech and movement
The non-motor symptoms
Parkinson's brings sleep disruption, depression, anxiety, and in many cases cognitive change. These are often more disabling than the tremor, and are frequently under-reported to physicians. A caregiver who is present daily notices patterns that a fifteen-minute appointment will not surface.
