Parkinson’s Care

Our person-centred home care can minimise the disruption of a Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Parkinson’s is a life-changing condition, but being diagnosed with Parkinson’s doesn’t mark the end of an individual’s life. At Helping Hands, we offer compassionate, nursing-led Parkinson’s care in the comfort of your own home.
Whether you’d benefit from a few hours of support a week to help during the early phase of the condition, or more comprehensive care at the palliative, complex stages of Parkinson’s – we can help.
Parkinson’s progressively impacts part of the brain, and leads to a number of symptoms that are difficult to manage, such as:

Tremors
Slow movement
Memory problems
Loss of smell
Stiff muscles
Speech changes
⦁ Parkinson’s care helps you to manage your symptoms and live your life to the fullest.
⦁ Whilst we know that there is no recognised cure for Parkinson’s, the main purpose of a Parkinson’s carer is to help slow down the progression of your symptoms and allow you to manage them.
⦁ Parkinson’s care also focuses on supporting the physical, practical and emotional needs of the customer and the wider family. Parkinson’s is a condition that can impact mental health, often in the form of anxiety or depression, which is why we adopt a truly holistic approach to the support that we provide.

Condition-led care
Every case of Parkinson’s is unique, which is why we’ll always offer you a care plan that is designed around your personal circumstances and condition

Responsive support
Our Parkinson’s care is responsive and can be adapted as your needs change, which is essential when supporting a complex medical condition

Fall prevention
We’ll work with you and your Occupational Therapist to make sure your home is accessible and free of trip hazards, and that you’re confident in your ability to move around

A familiar environment
Staying at home for care means you’ll be able to manage and adapt to your symptoms in a familiar environment where you’re comfortable and secure

Experienced carers
You’ll get dedicated support from carers who are fully trained and experienced in caring for customers with Parkinson’s

Emotional support
A significant part of our holistic approach to Parkinson’s care is ensuring that both and your loved ones are emotionally supported
