Parkinson’s Care

parkinson'sParkinson’s Disease often compromises movement and speech. But with the right care, there are many ways to carry on with normal activities, even as Parkinson’s disease progresses.

In the past, families were faced with few choices when their senior loved ones needed care. Fortunately, clinicians and other healthcare professionals have recognized the health and well-being benefits to receiving care while remaining in the comfort of home. The familiarity of home, as well as the comfort of home, are important factors in aging happily. And now, senior in home care is finally being celebrated as the preferred option for many – even those with Parkinson’s Disease.

Our Senior In Home Care

While being at home is great, it’s not just about Aging in Place . It’s about being in a familiar, safe and supported environment in your own home. Our flexible consultative approach gives you and your loved ones the ability to customize a home care program that’s right for you. When you need to make a change, Assisting Hands Home Care helps make it happen.

Coordination of Care

Assisting Hands can also help in determining the specific needs for you and your loved one. From our initial assessment, throughout care, we are keenly aware of needs. Please select our Coordination of Care page for more information on how we work with you.

Assisting Hands will also work with you to make your house the warm comfortable home it has always been – so it is easier for you to get around. We’ll talk to you about any home modifications that should be made. We can suggest community based programs that might be helpful. And we have a medical alert system that may be helpful in certain situations. Best of all, we take the time to match you or your loved one with a caregiver that meets your needs, personality, and habits. Assisting Hands Home Care is committed to providing the best home health care possible.

Relief for the Caregiver

Perhaps as important to providing care to a loved one with Parkinson’s Disease, is the ability to provide relief for the caregiver. The caregiver must balance their own needs with those of the person they are caring for. It can be an exhausting process. It’s important to stay safe and alert. Providing time away – time where the caregiver can take care of his or her own needs – is just as important as providing care for the person with Parkinson’s Disease. Assisting Hands can provide respite care as needed – either periodically or routinely.

Assisting Hands can help by providing short-term or periodic help in Montgomery County MD or Fairfax County VA. Having someone assist in the care of the person with Parkinson’s Disease can also help you stay more positive. There are a number of services we provide that can also help reduce the stress and anxiety often felt by caregivers.

Frequency of Care.

The frequency of care depends on the individual, the family and the specific needs of the person with Parkinson’s Disease. Assisting Hands can provide support when visiting friends or family, during hospital visits or weekly shopping excursions. We can assist with mobility issues or provide companionship to keep someone occupied. Whether your needs are daily, weekly or periodically, we can help.

Need More Information?

Take a look at some of the informative article on our blog. Or give us a call to discuss your needs. Call 301-363-2580 if your loved one is in Montgomery County MD and 703-556-8983 if your loved one resides in Northern Fairfax County VA.
