Parkinson's Care
Trained Experts in Parkinson's Disease Care
We understand the rough days when you shuffle more and can’t stop the shaking. Our in-home care professionals know just when to nudge you through exercises, when to cook some meals ahead, or when to help you relax and talk through how you’re really feeling about the limitations on your body. We notice the changes in posture and facial expression and help you make comfortable adjustments to maintain coordination and balance.
How Sharp Home Care can help with Parkinson's support
Our specialized and personable adult home care teams know just how to work with the muscle stiffness and tremors to prevent frustration and falls. Sharp Home Care's in-home caregiving services also help individuals with Parkinson’s disease stand strong through these beneficial services:
- Nutrition and Meal Planning. A healthy diet is essential for those with Parkinson’s disease to help strengthen muscles and bones. Also, the National Parkinson Foundation offers these concerns regarding the nutritional needs of someone living with Parkinson’s.
- Personal Supervision and Home Safety. Parkinson’s disease often causes an unsteady gait, resulting in trips and falls. Our daily Home Safety Checklist can help in safeguarding the home.
- Daily Mobility. Some people with Parkinson’s disease need extra help with the activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, eating and using the bathroom. Our skilled caregivers are sensitive to the slowed pace the neuromuscular disorder presents, and we respect 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 home caregivers can assist with stretching, walking and other light exercise programs.
- Transportation. Driving can be difficult or restricted for Parkinson’s patients. Right at Home provides rides to appointments, therapy and other destinations. Our transport assistance also relieves family members from taking time off work.
- Family 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 everyone involved in the care network.
