Living with Parkinson’s: How Home Care Can Help
As Parkinson’s progresses, everyday tasks can become more challenging. Home care provides practical, physical, and emotional support, helping people stay safe, comfortable, and independent in their own homes for as long as possible.
How Home Care Supports People with Parkinson’s
• Mobility support – Assistance with moving safely around the home, reducing the risk of falls, and supporting gentle exercise to maintain strength and confidence.
• Medication reminders – Parkinson’s often involves complex medication routines. Carers can prompt and supervise medication to ensure it is taken correctly and on time.
• Help with daily routines – From washing and dressing to preparing meals, carers provide support with day-to-day activities while encouraging independence wherever possible.
• Companionship – Living with Parkinson’s can feel isolating. A familiar, friendly face offers reassurance, conversation, and emotional support.
• Monitoring for changes – Trained carers can spot signs of changing symptoms and communicate with families and healthcare teams to ensure timely support.
Whether you choose regular visiting care or full-time live-in care, support at home allows people with Parkinson’s to remain in familiar surroundings, retain independence, and enjoy a higher quality of life.
