Are You Caring For a Loved One Who
Is Suffering from Parkinson’s Disease?

It’s common for family caregivers to feel confused and frustrated when caring for a loved one with Parkinson’s Disease.
Parkinson’s Disease is a very “individualistic” illness – triggering a combination of symptoms.
The symptoms are different for each person and may vary from day to day.

A Committed and Reliable Care Team
to support your loved one around the clock is essential.

Five Elements of Effective Parkinson’s Home Care

The Affinity Care Method for Parkinson’s Disease

AffinityHomeCare

Maximum Comfort

Reducing symptoms and the negative effects of Parkinson’s Disease medications (which can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration) requires both a strict dosing schedule and detailed notes for your doctor. Our caregivers will ensure your loved one has the maximum comfort possible.

AffinityHomeCare

Healthy Diet

In most cases, treating Parkinson’s Disease also involves a change in diet and eating habits – due either to swallowing problems caused by the disease or to the side effects of Parkinson’s Disease medications. Our caregivers can ensure your loved one eats a balanced diet of energy-rich foods while reducing the occurrence of nausea, constipation, and malnutrition.

AffinityHomeCare

Physical Activity

Studies have shown the best way to maintain balance, posture, mobility – and overall independence – is through daily exercise. Whichever form of physical activity your loved one prefers – we can match you with a caregiver who will accompany your loved one and keep them safe.

Sleep Hygiene

Fatigue is another common symptom of Parkinson’s Disease. Even brief tasks like taking a shower can be exhausting – and lead to excessive naps, which disrupt the sleep cycle and cause insomnia. To avoid this problem, our caregivers can take care of daily tasks like laundry and ensure your loved one develops healthy sleep habits.

AffinityHomeCare

Social Engagement

Many Parkinson’s patients experience some form of depression, necessitating additional medication. But equally helpful can be the friendly companionship of a caregiver, who can facilitate visits to support groups, art classes, volunteer activities or cultural events that suit your loved one’s interests and offer a change of scenery.

The 5 Stages of Parkinson’s Disease

Medical experts typically divide the progression of Parkinson’s Disease (and other forms of parkinsonism) into 5 stages – with differing degrees of severity, requiring different levels of care.

  • Stage 1: At this early stage, symptoms are limited to tremor (involuntary shakiness) and changes in posture, facial expression and walking gait on one side of the body. For the most part, these symptoms can be treated with medication and don’t interfere with daily life.
  • Stage 2: The disease begins to affect both sides of the brain and body, causing stiffness and other movement problems. Living alone is still feasible, but daily tasks like preparing meals are time-consuming and more difficult to perform.
  • Stage 3: Hallmark symptoms of this stage include loss of balance and slowed reflexes –which greatly increase the risk of injury due to falls. Daily activities like dressing or eating become extremely difficult.
  • Stage 4: At this stage, mobility decreases to the point where the patient is no longer able to stand up or walk without assistance. As a result, living alone is no longer feasible and potentially dangerous.
  • Stage 5: The patient is confined to a bed or wheelchair due to extreme stiffness in the legs. Hallucinations, delusions, and dementia are common, and round-the-clock care becomes necessary.

In our effort to provide the highest-quality in-home care, we also guarantee to provide you with
a service that is flexible, comprehensive, and fully tailored for individual needs.

Flexible Service

Parkinson’s is a progressive disease with symptoms that can seem to “flare up” unpredictably. These factors make it tough on family caregivers, especially in later stages of the disease when round-the-clock supervision and assistance are necessary. With our flexible service options: hourly, and live-in, you will get only as much help as you need, any time you need it.

Comprehensive Care

Focusing on daily exercise, adequate sleep, proper nutrition, and emotional well-being is of paramount importance. To that end, we ensure that our caregivers are thoroughly trained and experienced in appropriate comprehensive home care for individual patients.

Personally Tailored

Each Parkinson’s patient is different – not only in terms of their symptoms and treatment choices, but also in terms of their personality and preferences. That’s why our care specialists make every effort to fit our services to the needs of your family, the advice of your neurologist or movement disorder specialist, and the unique challenges of caring for an individual with Parkinson’s.
