Helping Seniors with Parkinson's Thrive as They Age in Place

In addition to assisting with everyday tasks, caregivers from Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach can help make aging in place a positive experience by ensuring your loved one's safety and comfort. One way we help our clients age in place is by working with families to help them maintain a high quality of life while remaining independent. This is easily achievable even for seniors living with Parkinson's thanks to our collaborative approach and personalized home care solutions.

Those with Parkinson's tend to shuffle their feet, so you can cut down on tripping hazards in your loved one's by removing rugs and excess phone and electronic cables. Consider installing hand-railing in the bathroom and on the stairs. With light housekeeping assistance from Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach, we can help with removing clutter from the home and making sure every room is well-lit. We can also encourage your loved one to keep a flashlight on their nightstand so they can see at night and reduce the likelihood of tripping and falling. 

It's important to remember that those with Parkinson's suffer from slower body movement, balance issues, limb rigidity, muscle stiffness, and other physical issues. Your goal should be to create a living space free from hazards that could cause them further discomfort. For areas such as the bathroom, stairs, and kitchen, safety measures should be taken to make their life easier and provide them with simpler access to essentials. Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach can further help with this by accompanying your loved one as they maintain their personal hygiene so they can stay safe as they bathe, get dressed, brush their teeth, and anything else they need to do to get ready for the day.

We are ready to work with you on improving the safety of their residence and providing constant in-home care to tend to their needs. With our support, companionship, and helpful tips, you can create the most comfortable living situation for your loved one.
