In-Home Parkinson's Care

Managing the progression of Parkinson’s disease can bring a mix of disbelief, confusion and fear. No one really knows what causes the neurodegenerative brain disorder and its effect on muscle movement and control. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but prescription medications, deep brain stimulation, and certain therapies will usually alleviate or lessen symptoms. While Parkinson’s disease itself is not fatal, its debilitating effects do increase the potential for deadly complications.

Level of care requirements will change as the condition progresses. Your loved one is likely to cope well on their own during the early stages, and may only require transportation to doctors’ appointments, social engagements, and shopping trips. But their dependence will inevitably grow, and at some point, they may need help with daily personal tasks, medication management, making financial decisions, and advocating with healthcare providers on their behalf.

Our goal is to be there for you as the disease progresses, providing as much or as little care as needed. Pampering Plus can ensure your loved one receives quality, one-on-one Parkinson’s disease care at home, where they already feel comfortable and secure, while relieving the burden placed on family caregivers. Our experienced and compassionate home health care aides will provide a range of non-medical assistance and support to ensure all needs are met, regardless of physical or cognitive limitations.

Caring For Someone With Parkinson’s Disease

• Daily Mobility - We can provide extra help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, eating and using the bathroom while respecting privacy and the need for a normal routine.
• Exercise - For people with Parkinson’s disease, exercise is vital to maintaining balance, mobility and strength. Our in-home caregivers can assist with stretching, walking and other light exercise programs.
• Supervision & Home Safety - Parkinson’s often causes an unsteady gait, resulting in trips and falls. Our caregivers are highly proficient in safeguarding the home.
• Nutrition & Meal Planning - A healthy diet is essential to help strengthen muscles and bones. Our caregivers can prepare appropriate, nutritious meals as directed by a physician, nurse or nutritionist.
• Caregiver Relief - Caring for someone with Parkinson’s disease can be physically demanding and emotionally exhausting. We provide respite care for family caregivers and peace of mind for all.
• Coordination with Skilled Therapists – As the condition progresses, we will coordinate efforts with home health care Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy to achieve the best quality of life.
• Transportation - Pampering Plus provides rides to appointments, therapy and other destinations. Our transportation services also reduce time away from work for family members.
