Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement. It’s caused by a loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain.

Parkinsonism is a term that covers several conditions that involve similar symptoms, slow movements, stiffness and problems with walking. 

The most common form of Parkinson’s is called idiopathic Parkinson’s; the cause of this type of Parkinson’s is unknown. The main symptoms of this type of Parkinson’s are tremor, rigidity and slow movements. 

Another form is vascular/arteriosclerotic Parkinsonism and is caused by restricted blood supply to the brain. It is most commonly found in people who have had a stroke. Common symptoms can include trouble with sleep, movement, mood and memory.

Parkinson’s care at home is about enabling people to live safely and happily in the place they know best. It supports both the physical and emotional challenges of the condition while helping individuals remain as independent as possible.

Together, we create care plans that support:

• Medical Needs: Including medication support and liaising with healthcare teams
• Daily Living: Personal care, nutrition, housekeeping, and fall prevention
• Mental and Emotional Wellbeing: Companionship, emotional support, and encouragement with hobbies or social activities

Based on current evidence Parkinson’s tends to develop gradually. It may take an individual many months or years before symptoms become apparent enough to motivate someone to visit their doctor. Your doctor may perform brain imaging scans to diagnose you with Parkinson’s. 

Parkinson’s may look different for everyone with the diagnosis depending on the type of Parkinson's disease they have.

If you think you or a loved one may have signs of Parkinson’s, speak to your GP or a medical professional to learn more.
