Parkinson's Home Care

Steady hands. Steady care. Every step of the way.

When the tremors started, you told yourself it was nothing. When the balance changed, you adjusted. But now the falls, the freezing mid-step, the frustration on your loved one’s face when their body won’t do what their mind is asking — it’s becoming more than you can manage alone.

All Heart Home Care provides compassionate Parkinson’s home care across San Diego County. We’re a nurse-led, veteran-owned agency that’s been helping families like yours since 2014. Our caregivers are experienced in the specific challenges of Parkinson’s disease — from fall prevention and mobility support to medication timing and the emotional toll this disease takes on everyone it touches. Whether you need a few hours of weekly help or around-the-clock 24-hour care, we’re here.

Parkinson'S Home Care - All Heart Home Care San Diego

This disease changes everything — and you need real support.

Nearly one million Americans are living with Parkinson’s disease, with 90,000 new diagnoses every year. It’s the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the country — and Southern California has one of the highest incidence rates in the nation.

Parkinson’s doesn’t announce itself all at once. It creeps in — a slight tremor, a shuffling step, trouble buttoning a shirt. Then the falls start. About 60% of people with Parkinson’s fall each year, and the risk of hip fracture is four times higher than in the general population. The disease affects movement, balance, speech, swallowing, sleep, and mood. And the family members trying to keep up with all of it are often running on empty.

Our Parkinson’s home care gives your family skilled, consistent support that keeps your loved one safe at home — and gives you room to breathe.

What our caregivers actually do every day.

Parkinson’s care isn’t a checklist. It’s adjusting — in real time — to a body that can move freely one hour and freeze completely the next. Here’s what that looks like with All Heart Home Care:

Prevent falls before they happen.

Falls are the single biggest safety risk in Parkinson's. Our caregivers provide steady, patient mobility assistance — walking support, safe transfers from bed to chair, and help navigating stairs or uneven surfaces. We also work with your family to make practical home modifications like grab bars, non-slip flooring, better lighting, and removing tripping hazards. Prevention is always better than recovery.

Work with freezing episodes, not against them.

Freezing of gait — when your loved one's feet suddenly feel glued to the floor — is one of the most frightening symptoms of Parkinson's. Our caregivers have hands-on experience recognizing freeze triggers and use proven techniques like rhythmic cueing, visual targets, and weight shifting to help your loved one move through episodes safely and calmly.

Keep medications on schedule.

Parkinson's medications are time-sensitive. Taking levodopa even 30 minutes late can mean the difference between a good hour and a difficult one. Our caregivers provide consistent medication reminders and coordinate with your neurologist to stay current on any dosage or timing changes. On-time medication keeps symptoms manageable and your loved one more comfortable throughout the day.

Support daily living with patience and dignity.

Tremors, rigidity, and slowed movement make everyday tasks like dressing, bathing, eating, and grooming genuinely difficult. Our caregivers give your loved one the time they need — never rushing, never taking over more than necessary. We help maintain independence, routine, and self-respect in every interaction.

Encourage movement and engagement.

Exercise isn't optional for Parkinson's — it's one of the most effective tools for managing symptoms. Our caregivers support daily stretching, walking routines, and follow-through on physical therapy exercises prescribed by your loved one's care team. We also engage your loved one in activities they enjoy: music, puzzles, gardening, conversation, cooking — whatever keeps their mind active and their spirits up.

Every aspect of our Parkinson’s home care is personalized. A client with mild tremors and early-stage stiffness gets a very different care plan than someone dealing with advanced mobility loss, speech difficulties, and frequent falls. We meet your loved one exactly where they are.

Caregivers with real Parkinson's experience.

We don’t hand someone a manual and call them ready. When your family needs Parkinson’s home care, we match you with a caregiver who has hands-on experience working with Parkinson’s clients—someone who already understands motor and non-motor symptoms, safe transfer techniques, fall prevention, freezing-of-gait response, and the critical importance of medication timing. Our client relations manager personally evaluates every caregiver’s experience before placing them with your family.

But experience only gets you so far. What sets our caregivers apart is heart. They learn that your dad moves better with music playing. They know your mother needs an extra few minutes in the morning because her stiffness is worse before her first dose takes effect. They become a steady, familiar presence in a life that feels increasingly unpredictable — and that consistency matters enormously in Parkinson’s home care.

Care that grows with your loved one's needs.

Parkinson’s is progressive, and what your family needs today won’t be what you need a year from now. Our care plans evolve alongside the disease — so you never have to start over with a new provider.

Early stage: Your loved one is still largely independent but may notice mild tremors, occasional balance issues, or difficulty with fine motor tasks like writing or buttoning clothes. We provide companionship, medication reminders, light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation to neurology appointments, and gentle encouragement to stay active. Many families start with just a few hours of hourly care per week.

Mid-stage: Daily assistance becomes essential. Balance and mobility decline, freezing episodes increase, and personal care tasks require more hands-on help. Our caregivers provide safe transfers, fall-prevention supervision, structured daily routines, and support with home physical therapy exercises. We also offer respite care so family caregivers can rest — because caregiver burnout helps no one.

Advanced stage: Your loved one may need comprehensive support for nearly every aspect of daily living. Swallowing difficulties, speech changes, and significant mobility loss require attentive, experienced care. Our 24-hour care provides constant presence—assistance with feeding, repositioning, comfort measures, and dignity throughout every moment. We coordinate closely with neurologists, physical therapists, and hospice teams when that becomes appropriate.

At every stage, our Parkinson’s home care is built around one principle: your loved one deserves to feel safe, capable, and valued — no matter how the disease progresses.

Let's talk about what your family needs.

You’ve been adjusting to this disease for a while now — catching them when they stumble, learning medication schedules, watching the person you love struggle with things that used to come easily. It’s exhausting, and you don’t have to carry it alone.

We invite you to schedule a free, no-obligation in-home consultation. We’ll listen to your situation, answer your questions, and build a customized Parkinson’s home care plan tailored to your loved one’s needs—not a one-size-fits-all package.

Frequently asked questions about Parkinson's home care.

What is Parkinson's disease and how does it affect daily life?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. Common symptoms include tremors, muscle rigidity, slowed movement, freezing of gait, and difficulty with balance. As the disease progresses, it can also affect speech, swallowing, sleep, and mood. These changes make everyday activities like dressing, walking, and eating increasingly challenging — which is why many families turn to professional Parkinson’s home care for support.

Our Parkinson’s home care rates start at $37 per hour, with pricing based on shift length — longer, consistent shifts receive a lower hourly rate. For visits under four hours, we offer a flat per-visit rate of $175. Families needing 24-hour care pay $960 per day with no overtime fees. We provide exact pricing over the phone during your first call — no in-home visit required. Visit our pricing page for full details.

Consider professional care when you notice increasing fall risk, difficulty managing medications on schedule, struggles with personal hygiene or dressing, or when family caregivers are feeling burned out. You don’t have to wait for a crisis. Starting Parkinson’s home care early builds trust with a consistent caregiver, establishes safe routines, and helps maintain your loved one’s independence longer.

Falls are the number one safety concern in Parkinson’s — about 60% of people with Parkinson’s fall each year. Our caregivers provide steady mobility assistance, safe transfers, and home safety modifications to prevent falls before they happen. For freezing of gait episodes, we use proven techniques including rhythmic cueing, visual floor targets, and weight shifting to help your loved one move through freezes safely.

Medicare typically does not cover non-medical in-home care like companionship, personal care, or mobility assistance. However, long-term care insurance often does. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit, which can provide over $2,000 per month toward care. California’s Medi-Cal IHSS program offers limited coverage for eligible individuals. Our care coordinators can help you navigate these options.

Yes. Parkinson’s care often involves multiple specialists — neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Our caregivers help ensure adherence to home therapy exercises, monitor symptom changes, maintain medication schedules, and communicate updates to the family and medical team. This coordinated approach ensures everyone is working together to support your loved one’s health and quality of life.

Additional FAQ's on Digital Home Care System

Yes. HITRUST CSF Certified security—same gold standard hospitals use. More secure than paper.

Extremely rare (99.9% uptime), but caregivers can work in offline mode if connectivity is temporarily lost. Care continues without interruption. Documentation syncs automatically when connection returns.

Caregivers document throughout their shift in real-time. Notes are typically finalized and visible in Family Room within minutes of the caregiver clocking out.

We can set up Family Room accounts for as many family members as you want—local siblings, children in other states, anyone you authorize. Everyone sees the same information. No limit on number of accounts.

Yes. Family Room includes secure document storage. Upload medical records, insurance cards, POLST forms, medication lists, doctor’s instructions, photos—anything important. All authorized family members can access these documents. No more searching for forms.

We update the digital care plan immediately, and all caregivers receive instant notification of changes. This is one of the biggest advantages over paper—updates reach everyone simultaneously, not gradually over days or weeks.

Absolutely. Family Room is a tool for families who want it, not a replacement for human connection. We’re always reachable by phone at (619) 736-4677. Many families use both—portal for quick updates, phone calls for detailed conversations.

We train every caregiver on the WellSky mobile app before their first shift. The app is intuitive—designed specifically for caregivers, not engineers. If someone can text and use GPS navigation, they can use our caregiver app. And we provide ongoing support.

Yes. The Family Room care calendar shows upcoming shifts with caregiver names and times. You’ll know exactly who’s coming and when. No more surprise caregiver switches.

Use the two-way messaging feature in Family Room. Send your message, and the caregiver receives an instant notification on their mobile app. They’ll see it and can respond or confirm receipt immediately.

Yes. All notes are searchable. Want to see every mention of “appetite” from the past month? Type it in the search bar and find all relevant notes instantly. No more flipping through pages of handwritten entries.

You can access the complete care history from the day Family Room access began. Review notes from last week, last month, or since care started. Historical data helps identify patterns over time.

Family members cannot delete caregiver documentation—that’s protected and maintained by All Heart for record-keeping purposes. You can delete your own uploaded documents, but we can often recover those if needed within a certain timeframe.

With your authorization, we can provide limited Family Room access to healthcare providers. This allows better coordination between home care and medical teams. You control exactly who has access and what they can see.

Family Room works both ways. You can access it through any web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) on your computer, or download the mobile app for easier access on your phone or tablet. Your choice.

All authorized Family Room users see the same care information—we can’t create different access levels for different family members. However, you (as the primary contact) control who gets Family Room access in the first place. If family dynamics are challenging, you decide who receives login credentials.

The messaging system shows when messages are delivered and read. You’ll see confirmation that the caregiver received and opened your message. For critical information, you can also call our office to ensure the message was received.

Yes. You can print individual shift notes, date ranges, or specific types of documentation (like Change of Condition reports) directly from Family Room. Useful for doctor appointments or insurance purposes.

If your loved one transitions to hospice, hospital, or another care setting, we can maintain your Family Room access for a transition period so you have complete records. After care ends, we provide a final data export if requested, then access is closed according to your wishes and legal requirements.

Yes. Family Room is accessible from anywhere with internet connection. If you’re traveling abroad, you can still check on your loved one’s care. The system works globally.

Family Room doesn’t support selective information sharing—all authorized users see the same care documentation. For private family communications, you’d need to use personal email, phone, or text outside the Family Room system.

Change of Condition reports automatically alert you when caregivers document significant health changes. For custom alerts (like specific behaviors or situations), talk to our office—we may be able to add special flags to your loved one’s care plan that trigger notifications.

We typically set up Family Room access during your initial care planning meeting, before the first caregiver shift. You’ll have login credentials and a brief tutorial on how to use the portal. Most families are viewing their first shift notes within 24 hours of care beginning.

Complete Security & Privacy Information

HITRUST CSF Certification - What This Means

HITRUST CSF (Common Security Framework) is the most rigorous security certification in healthcare. It's harder to achieve than HIPAA compliance alone. This certification requires:

  • Annual independent security audits by certified assessors
  • Continuous monitoring of security controls
  • Documented policies and procedures for data protection
  • Employee security training and background checks
  • Incident response and disaster recovery plans
  • Regular penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities

Why it matters: If it’s secure enough for hospital patient records, it’s secure enough for your loved one’s care information.

Bank-Level Encryption Explained

Data in Storage (At Rest):

  • All information stored on WellSky servers is encrypted using AES-256 encryption
  • This is the same encryption standard used by banks and the U.S. military
  • Even if someone physically accessed the servers, they couldn't read the data without encryption keys

Data in Transmission (In Transit):

  • When you access Family Room from your phone or computer, all data traveling between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher
  • This is the same technology that protects your online banking
  • The "lock" icon in your browser address bar confirms this encryption

What this means: Even if someone intercepted the data (extremely unlikely), they would only see scrambled, unreadable information.

Strict Access Controls

Who Can See What

Family Member Access:

  • You decide exactly which family members get Family Room login credentials
  • Each person has their own unique username and password
  • You can add or remove access at any time
  • Family members can only view information for your loved one—no one else's

Caregiver Access:

  • Caregivers only see care plans for clients they're actively assigned to
  • When a caregiver is no longer working with your loved one, their access to that care plan is immediately revoked
  • Caregivers cannot access billing information or family contact details

Staff Access:

  • All Heart staff access is role-based and monitored
  • Office staff see only the information necessary for their job function
  • Nursing supervisors have broader access for quality oversight
  • All access is logged with timestamps

Audit Trail:

  • Every action is logged: who accessed what information, when, and from where
  • These logs are regularly reviewed for any suspicious activity
  • Logs are maintained for compliance and security purposes

HIPAA Compliance - Federal Protection

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establishes federal standards for protecting health information. Our compliance includes:

Privacy Rule Compliance:

  • Your loved one's health information is never shared without authorization
  • You control who has access to information
  • Clear privacy policies explain how information is used

Security Rule Compliance:

  • Administrative safeguards (policies, training, access management)
  • Physical safeguards (secure facilities, workstation security)
  • Technical safeguards (encryption, authentication, audit controls)

Breach Notification:

  • In the extremely unlikely event of a data breach, affected individuals are notified promptly as required by law
  • We maintain insurance and procedures for breach response

Business Associate Agreements:

  • WellSky (our technology provider) has signed formal agreements guaranteeing HIPAA compliance
  • All vendors with potential access to data must meet the same standards

Continuous Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automated Backups:

  • Data is backed up automatically multiple times per day
  • Backups are encrypted and stored in geographically separate secure data centers
  • This protects against hardware failure, natural disasters, or other catastrophic events

Redundancy:

  • Data is stored across multiple servers simultaneously
  • If one server fails, others immediately take over
  • No single point of failure in the system

Disaster Recovery Plan:

  • Formal, tested procedures for recovering from any disaster scenario
  • Regular drills ensure the recovery plan actually works
  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO): System restored within hours, not days
  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Minimal data loss (minutes, not hours)

What this guarantees: Your loved one’s care information is never truly lost. Even if an entire data center were destroyed, complete backups exist elsewhere.

99.9% Uptime Guarantee

What “99.9% uptime” means:

  • The system is available and functional 99.9% of the time
  • That translates to less than 9 hours of downtime per year
  • Most families never experience a single outage

Monitoring:

  • System performance monitored 24/7/365
  • Automated alerts notify technical teams of any issues immediately
  • Problems are often resolved before users even notice them

If the system goes down:

  • Caregivers can work in offline mode on their mobile devices
  • Care continues without interruption
  • Documentation is saved locally and syncs automatically when connection returns
  • Your loved one's care never depends on perfect internet connectivity

Multi-Factor Authentication (Optional)

For families who want extra security, we can enable multi-factor authentication (MFA):

  • Requires both password AND a code sent to your phone
  • Even if someone stole your password, they couldn't access your account without your phone
  • Optional but recommended for families with high security concerns

Mobile Device Security

Caregiver Phones:

  • WellSky mobile app requires login credentials
  • Apps lock automatically after inactivity
  • No data is stored permanently on caregiver phones—it's accessed from secure servers
  • If a phone is lost or stolen, we can remotely disable access immediately

Your Devices:

  • Family Room is accessed through secure web browsers or mobile apps
  • You can log out from any device at any time
  • Session timeouts prevent unauthorized access if you forget to log out

Security Incident Response

In the extremely unlikely event of a security concern:

  • Detection: Automated systems and staff monitoring detect potential issues immediately
  • Response: Security team investigates and responds within minutes
  • Containment: Affected systems isolated to prevent spread
  • Resolution: Issue resolved and systems secured
  • Notification: Affected users notified as required by law
  • Review: Incident analyzed to prevent future occurrences

Common Security Questions

"What if I forget my password?"

Secure password reset process via email or phone verification. We verify your identity before resetting access.

"Can hackers access the system?"

Multiple layers of security make unauthorized access extremely difficult. Regular penetration testing simulates attacks to identify and fix vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them.

"What if my phone is stolen?"

Change your password immediately from any other device. The thief would still need your password to access Family Room.

"Can All Heart staff see my credit card information?"

No. Payment processing is handled by a separate, PCI-compliant payment processor. We never see or store your full credit card number.

"What happens to the data if I stop using All Heart?"

Your data is retained according to legal requirements (typically 7 years for healthcare records), then securely deleted. You can request a copy of your data at any time.

This isn’t just secure—it’s among the most secure systems available in healthcare.

Your information is safer in our digital system than it ever was in a paper binder sitting on a kitchen counter.

Tracking health changes that matter.

The Change of Condition form documents significant shifts in your loved one’s health—new symptoms, changes in mobility, behavioral differences, or improvements in their condition. This isn’t about minor day-to-day variations; it’s about meaningful changes that physicians, families, and caregivers need to know about.

Why have a separate form for this?

Instead of searching through weeks of caregiver narratives to find when symptoms started or conditions changed, this form puts all significant health changes in one easy-to-reference place. When doctors ask “when did the difficulty walking begin?” or family members want to understand the progression of a condition, you’ll have clear, dated documentation right at your fingertips.

What gets documented:

Each entry includes:

  • Date the change was observed
  • Description of the change in condition (symptoms, behaviors, mobility changes, cognitive shifts, or improvements)
  • Caregiver instructions based on the change (new monitoring requirements, adjusted assistance levels, safety precautions, or care plan modifications)
  • Authorization source (Client, Family, Doctor, or Agency)
  • Expiration date for temporary instructions (or marked as "Indefinitely" for ongoing changes)
  • Caregiver acknowledgments confirming they've read and understood the new instructions

Why this form matters:

Early detection changes outcomes. When caregivers notice something different—increased confusion, difficulty walking, loss of appetite, or even positive improvements like better mobility—documenting it immediately allows for faster responses.

Your family stays informed about meaningful health changes. Physicians receive accurate updates during appointments instead of relying on memory. Incoming caregivers know exactly what’s changed and what new precautions or assistance your loved one needs.

One form. Complete health timeline. Better care.

Whether tracking a temporary change after a fall or documenting the progression of a chronic condition, the Change of Condition form creates a clear health timeline. This helps everyone—doctors, family members, and our San Diego caregiver team—understand how your loved one’s needs are evolving and respond appropriately.

Proactive monitoring isn’t just good practice. It’s essential senior care.

How the Caregiver Narrative works.

Each caregiver documents their shift using a simple timeline format that captures the essential details of your loved one’s day. This structured approach ensures consistency across all caregivers and makes information easy to find.

What we document in every narrative:

  • Daily health observations and changes in condition
  • Meals, snacks, and hydration intake
  • Mobility assistance and transfer support
  • Activities completed, mood, and engagement levels
  • Social interaction, conversation topics, and preferences
  • Safety concerns or environmental changes noticed
  • Medication reminders provided (when applicable)
  • General well-being updates and family notes

Narrative Format:

Each entry follows this structure:

  • Start Date | Start Time | Caregiver Name
  • Timeline Narrative (chronological notes throughout the shift documenting activities, meals, observations, assistance provided, and any notable moments)
  • End Date | End Time | Caregiver Name

Why this format works:

This timeline approach provides clear, chronological documentation that’s easy for incoming caregivers to read and understand. Instead of wondering what happened during the previous shift, they can see exactly what your loved one ate, how they felt, what activities they enjoyed, and any health changes observed.

One record. Every shift. Complete continuity.

Whether care is short-term, long-term, or evolving, the Caregiver Narrative ensures nothing gets missed and nothing gets repeated. Your family can review the journal at any time during visits, or we can share photos of recent narratives with long-distance family members who want to stay connected and informed.

Complete transparency and peace of mind, right when you need it.
