Parkinson's Care

All Heart Home Care offers a wide range of services to address the unique challenges of Parkinson’s disease. Our goal is to improve quality of life and relieve the burdens on both clients and family members. Each of our caregivers is trained to assist with the specific symptoms and difficulties associated with Parkinson’s. Our Parkinson’s in-home care services include:

• Mobility Assistance & Fall Prevention: We help seniors move safely around their home and outdoors. Caregivers provide support with walking, transferring (e.g., from bed to chair), and gentle exercises recommended by physical therapists. We focus on fall prevention by keeping walkways clear, using assistive devices properly, and making home modifications (like grab bars or improved lighting) to ensure a secure environment.

• Help with Daily Living Activities: Our caregivers respectfully assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. We understand that Parkinson’s can slow down movements and affect coordination, so we allow extra time and use patience in every task. By helping with these personal care routines, we enable clients to maintain dignity and routine in their day-to-day life.

• Medication Reminders & Management: Timely medication is critical for managing Parkinson’s symptoms like tremors and rigidity. Our team provides reliable medication reminders and can assist with medication management as directed by healthcare professionals. We coordinate with doctors and neurologists to stay updated on any changes to your loved one’s treatment plan. With our caregivers’ support, medications are taken on schedule, which helps maximize their effectiveness.

• Meal Preparation & Nutrition: Proper nutrition is essential for seniors with Parkinson’s to stay strong and healthy. Our caregivers can plan and prepare balanced meals based on your loved one’s dietary needs and any physician recommendations. We assist with grocery shopping, meal prep, and feeding if needed, always mindful of any swallowing difficulties or dietary restrictions. Enjoying regular, nutritious meals helps improve energy levels and supports overall health.

• Emotional Support & Companionship: Living with Parkinson’s can be emotionally challenging. Our caregivers don’t just tend to physical needs – they also provide heartfelt companionship and encouragement. We engage seniors in conversation, listen to their concerns, and participate in hobbies or cognitive activities they enjoy. This social interaction helps combat feelings of loneliness or depression. We truly care about building a trusting friendship with each client, so they feel supported mentally and emotionally.

• Transportation & Errands: When driving becomes difficult due to Parkinson’s symptoms, our caregivers help keep seniors connected and active. We provide transportation to doctor appointments (including visits to neurologists or physical therapy sessions), pharmacy pick-ups, and social outings. We also run errands like grocery shopping or picking up prescriptions. Having safe, reliable transportation ensures your loved one never misses important appointments and can continue enjoying life outside the home.

• Family Caregiver Relief (Respite Care): Caring for a spouse or parent with Parkinson’s can be physically and emotionally exhausting for family members. All Heart Home Care offers respite care to give family caregivers a much-needed break. Whether you need a few hours off each week or an overnight reprieve, our trusted caregivers step in to care for your loved one. We handle all aspects of care during respite visits, so you can recharge with peace of mind knowing your family member is in capable, caring hands.

• Care Coordination with Specialists: Parkinson’s care often involves multiple healthcare providers. We can coordinate with your loved one’s medical team – including neurologists, physical or occupational therapists, and other specialists – to ensure continuity of care. Our caregivers help follow through on therapy exercises at home, monitor any changes in symptoms, and update the family or doctors as needed. This collaborative approach means everyone is working together to support your loved one’s health and well-being.
