What is in-home Parkinson's care?

Our caregiver team helps people with neurological disorders with their emotional, cognitive, and physical needs, empowering them to maintain their dignity, independence, and zest for life. Our personalized support can evolve over time with a client’s changing needs.
From managing tremors and mobility issues to addressing the often-overlooked non-motor symptoms like sleep disturbances or mood changes, our comprehensive care covers all aspects of living with Parkinson’s. We work closely with your family to create a care plan that’s as unique as your loved one.
Our trained caregivers assist with:
- Daily activities like bathing, dressing, and grooming
- Mobility support and fall prevention
- Meal preparation and feeding assistance
- Medication reminders
- Exercise and physical therapy support
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Light housekeeping
- Companionship and emotional support
We tailor our care to each client’s needs, adjusting as the condition progresses.
Understanding Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement. It develops when the brain loses cells that produce dopamine, a chemical crucial for controlling movement. Common symptoms include tremors, stiffness, and balance problems. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience difficulties with speech, swallowing, and cognitive functions.
However, Parkinson’s is not just a movement disorder. Non-motor symptoms can include depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and cognitive changes. At Acti-Kare, we understand the complex nature of Parkinson’s and provide comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of the disease.

Benefits of In-Home Care for Parkinson's Patients
In-home care offers numerous advantages for individuals with Parkinson’s:
Personalized Care: Care plans are tailored to each individual’s specific symptoms and needs.
Familiar Environment: Staying at home reduces stress and anxiety, providing comfort and emotional benefits.
Maintained Independence: With support, individuals can continue daily routines and activities in their own home.
Fall Prevention: Caregivers can help make the home safer and provide assistance to prevent falls.
Medication Reminders: Consistent medication timing is crucial in Parkinson’s care and is easier to manage at home.
Exercise Support: Regular exercise is vital in Parkinson’s management, and caregivers can assist with prescribed routines.
Cost-Effective: Home care can often be more affordable than residential facilities.
The Importance of Exercise in Parkinson's Care
Exercise plays a crucial role in managing Parkinson’s disease. Regular physical activity can help improve balance, flexibility, and mobility. It may also help slow the progression of Parkinson’s symptoms. Our caregivers can support exercise routines prescribed by healthcare providers, which may include:
- Stretching exercises to improve flexibility
- Balance exercises to prevent falls
- Aerobic activities to improve cardiovascular health
- Strength training to maintain muscle mass
At Acti-Kare, we understand the importance of exercise in Parkinson’s care and work to incorporate appropriate physical activities into daily routines.
