24/7 Care
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement but can also impact mood, cognition, and sleep. It is characterized by tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance difficulties. As the disease advances, individuals may require specialized care to manage daily activities and maintain their quality of life. We offer comprehensive Parkinson’s care, providing the support needed to help residents live as independently and comfortably as possible.
Understanding Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease occurs when certain nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine, a chemical responsible for smooth and coordinated muscle movements, begin to break down. As dopamine levels decrease, movement becomes less controlled, leading to the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson’s such as tremors, bradykinesia (slowed movement), muscle rigidity, and impaired balance. In addition to these physical symptoms, some individuals may experience cognitive decline, mood changes, or sleep disturbances as the disease progresses.
While there is no cure for Parkinson’s, treatments and therapies can help manage symptoms. Assisted living homes specializing in Parkinson’s care like Elite Care Homes offer a structured and supportive environment to help residents live with dignity and maintain their independence for as long as possible.
Specialized Parkinson’s Care in Assisted Living Homes
Our facilities are designed to accommodate the unique challenges that Parkinson’s disease presents. We offer a safe, supportive environment where residents receive personalized care tailored to their individual needs and stages of the disease.
Key components of Parkinson’s care in our facilities include:
- Personalized Care Plans: Each resident has a customized care plan that focuses on their specific symptoms and care needs. This plan includes assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, and medication management. As Parkinson’s progresses, the level of care adjusts to ensure residents receive the right support.
- Mobility Assistance: Parkinson’s affects mobility, making balance and coordination difficult. Assisted living homes are equipped with features such as handrails, non-slip flooring, and mobility aids to help residents move safely. Staff members are trained to provide assistance with walking, transferring, and reducing the risk of falls.
- Physical and Occupational Therapy: Exercise and movement are important in managing Parkinson’s symptoms. Participating in physical and occupational therapy can help residents improve their strength, flexibility, and coordination. These therapies also focus on enhancing residents’ ability to perform daily tasks, promoting independence.
- Medication Management: Parkinson’s disease often requires a complex medication regimen to manage symptoms. We provide medication management services to ensure residents take their medications at the right times and in the correct doses, which is critical for symptom control.
- Emotional and Social Support: Living with Parkinson’s can be emotionally challenging. We offer a supportive environment where residents can engage in social activities, form connections, and receive emotional support.
