When the hospital recommends 24/7 care for your loved one, it can be overwhelming to determine the next steps. If your mother, who has Parkinson’s, recently fell and was hospitalized, you might be wondering if she needs to move to a facility. The answer isn’t always straightforward, but it doesn’t necessarily mean she has to leave the comfort of her home.
At Home Care Partners, we believe in starting with a simple but profound question: “What matters most to your mother?” Understanding her wishes is crucial. If managing her Parkinson’s care at home aligns with her desires, we’re here to provide the hope and support that this path is a viable option.
Often, the medical community suggests long-term care facilities or nursing homes. However, another option is hiring a Home Care Team specializing in Parkinson’s care. Our team offers comprehensive care management and caregiver support to help manage her symptoms effectively, ensuring she stays “on track.”
It may also be more affordable to bring in home care compared to moving to long-term care.
Parkinson’s requires precise medication management. When medications aren’t taken correctly—wrong time, wrong dose, or poor absorption—symptoms can worsen. Signs of being “off-track” include increased tremors, falls, mobility issues, difficulty with transfers, balance problems, freezing episodes, choking during meals, sleep disturbances, constipation, confusion, apathy, and depression.
Home Care Partners provides daily symptom journals to help families monitor and understand their loved one’s Parkinson’s. These journals track when symptoms appear and help identify patterns of on and off-track periods. By coordinating with neurology, physical therapy, and nursing teams, we bring the support of assisted living to your home.
Our Home Care Team will focus on what matters most, provide medication management, help with activities of daily living, and give families on-going health coordination and support.
