Our personalized, patient-centered approach addresses the unique and evolving challenges faced by people with Parkinson’s, ensuring comprehensive support tailored to individual needs.
Personalized Parkinson's Care
Tailored Parkinson's Care Plans
- Our team creates customized care plans for every individual, integrating precise medication management, complementary therapies, and mental health support. Plans are adaptable, evolving with the client's condition to consistently provide the most effective care at every stage of Parkinson’s Disease.
Expert Medication Management
- Timely medication administration is critical for Parkinson's care due to the medications' short half-lives. Our caregivers strictly adhere to medication schedules, ensuring dosages are administered within a 15-minute window of the patient's routine, effectively managing symptoms and preventing complications.
Comprehensive Daily Support
Mobility and Movement Assistance
- Changes in movement and mobility are common as Parkinson's progresses. Our caregivers provide professional assistance with safe movements, utilizing proven techniques such as step-cueing and proper foot placement. Occupational therapy consultations are coordinated as needed to enhance mobility and independence.
Strategies to Prevent Freezing and Falls
- Freezing episodes and falls are significant risks for individuals with Parkinson's. We implement proactive strategies to minimize these risks, including guidance on safe movement practices, avoiding tight spaces, and developing swift response plans to handle falls safely and promptly.
Transportation and Travel Assistance
- To maintain social engagement and independence, our caregivers assist clients in organizing safe and stress-free outings and medical appointments. Travel plans are thoughtfully scheduled around each client’s individual routine, ensuring optimal comfort and safety during transportation.
Mealtime and Nutritional Support
- Difficulty eating and swallowing can become significant concerns. Our caregivers provide nutritious, easy-to-eat meals, emphasize hydration, and customize mealtime approaches based on each client's specific dietary and physical needs, ensuring a safe and pleasant dining experience.
