Parkinson’s disease frequently impairs speech and goes along with movement a movement disorder with no cure that gradually worsens until even the most basic daily tasks become difficult. Although living with Parkinson’s is difficult, many seniors are able to continue living healthy, productive lives thanks to available in-home Parkinson’s care options. However, with the proper care, there are numerous ways to continue with normal activities even as Parkinson’s disease progresses. Previously, families had few options when their senior loved ones required care. Fortunately, clinicians and other healthcare professionals have recognized the health and well-being advantages of receiving care at home. The familiarity and comfort of one’s surroundings are important factors in aging happily. And now, senior in-home care is being recognized as the preferred option for many people, including those with Parkinson’s disease. If your loved one has this disease, they will require intensive care from either a family caregiver or a professional caregiver.

Relief for the Family-Caregiver
Free Consultation: (214) 609-1340
The ability to provide relief for the caregiver is perhaps as important as providing care to a loved one with Parkinson’s Disease. The caregiver must strike a balance between their own needs and those of the person they are caring for. It can be a taxing process. It is critical to remain vigilant and safe. Providing time away – time for the caregiver to attend to his or her own needs – is just as important as caring for the person with Parkinson’s Disease. Assisting Hands can provide respite care on an as-needed or routine basis.
