Living with Parkinson's
At Partners in Care, our home health aides receive specialized training to care for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Our home health aides can help you live more safely, comfortably and independently with:
- A customized exercise regimen, initially designed by a Partners in Care physical therapist, to prevent muscle rigidity
- A home assessment to identify safety risks such as slippery floors, obstructed hallways or slippers without backs
- Strategies that make difficult transitions (i.e., sitting, standing or getting into the shower) easier to manage
- Medication reminders
- Encouragement and patience to help ease the emotional distress of living with Parkinson’s disease
