Parkinson’s Care
Families who opt to provide Parkinson’s from InCasa Home Care Edmonton know that the progressive nature of the disease means that management strategies and care requirements will change over time. In order to provide the best possible Parkinson’s care services at home, it is imperative that the caregiver fully understand the disease, its presentation, progression, and the distinctive areas of care that require special attention. You can be sure that our caregivers will provide top quality Parkinson’s care for you or your loved one.
Properly administering medication is an important part of managing Parkinson’s symptoms. As the disease progresses, response to medication will change.
Difficulty with movement, posture, and balance present fall and bone fracture risks and can deter those diagnosed from engaging in physical activity. Other manifestations of the disease that affect cognition, speech, and altered facial expressions can present challenges with communication. Some patients will withdraw and isolate themselves if they feel embarrassed by these symptoms.
