Parkinson's Disease - A Growing Concern for Seniors

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting certain parts of the brain. The disease is progressive and often goes undetected until the more advanced stages, when motor symptoms become more obvious. According to one study, it is estimated that Parkinson's affects up to 2 million seniors in the United States. When most people think of Parkinson's disease, they think of the motor symptoms such as tremor. However, the non-motor affects of the disease can be harder to manage. If you have a loved one who has been diagnosed, in-home Parkinson's care referrals from Visiting Angels Daytona Beach can help your loved one manage the disorder.

How Does Parkinson's Home Care Help Daytona Beach Seniors?

When you have a loved one with impaired motor function, such as the effects of Parkinson's disease, they often require assistance in and around the home. One of the top concerns for families of Parkinson's sufferers is the increased fall risk. Due to shuffling gait and postural instability, your loved one is more unsteady on their feet. 

An in-home caregiver referred by Visiting Angels can help your loved one with daily tasks safely. This can include: 

• Daily Activities - Depending on your needs, a Parkinson's caregiver can help with running errands & shopping, transportation to appointments, preparing healthy meals, light housekeeping tasks, laundry, and medication reminders. 
• Companionship - Feelings of loneliness and isolation can be rampant among seniors. A senior caregiver can provide companionship, warm conversations, accompanying the senior on walks and exercising, and assisting the senior with their favorite hobby. 
• Personal Hygiene - A private duty caregiver can assist with showering or bathing, dressing, grooming, and other personal care matters.
• Fall Prevention - A senior caregiver can look at your home to identify potential issues and implement fall prevention measures. 
• Additional Care - As symptoms progress, a plan can be set up for overnight monitoring or 24-hour care.
