What Our Parkinson’s Care Includes

Tailored Care & Support Plans

No two people experience Parkinson’s the same way. That’s why we shape our personalised care plans around your symptoms, preferences, routines, and goals. We regularly review these plans to ensure they continue to meet your changing needs.

Daily Living Support

Our Care Assistants support with everyday tasks that may become more difficult due to stiffness, slow movement, or fatigue. This can include:

Personal care such as washing, dressing, grooming, and continence care
Safe support with mobility and fall prevention
Assistance with meal preparation and dietary support
Help with household tasks such as laundry, cleaning, and shopping

Medication Support

Many people living with Parkinson’s rely on medication to manage symptoms. Our Care Assistants can provide reminders, administer medication where appropriate, and monitor for side effects, helping to keep everything on track.

Physical and Cognitive Support

Exercise can play a crucial role in managing Parkinson’s. We can support you with gentle, tailored routines advised by your doctor or physiotherapist. Whether it’s walking, stretching, or balance exercises, our Care Assistants are on hand to encourage safe and beneficial movement.

We also understand the emotional effects of Parkinson’s and provide compassionate companionship and encouragement. This is particularly beneficial for those who may be feeling isolated with their condition.

"Right at Home staff were extremely helpful right from the start. We contacted them at very short notice to arrange care during the recent bank holiday weekend. I suffer from ischaemic heart and was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. The assessment was conducted in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the Right at Home carer immediately put me at my ease and gave me some much-needed reassurance that we had chosen the right company."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Parkinson’s disease?

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 the 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.

How is Parkinson’s diagnosed?

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

Our team of trusted care professionals are trained to prevent falls and provide safe assistance while Clients live independently at home. We assist you both physically and emotionally. We understand that caring for a loved one with Parkinson’s can require additional assistance. Our respite care services offer family carers a balance and the chance to take a break.

Can people with Parkinson’s be cared for at home?

Yes. With the right support, people with Parkinson’s can continue to live safely and independently at home. Our care adapts to the level of help required, from light touch support to full-time live-in care.

Can you help with overnight or live-in care?

Yes. We offer both overnight care (waking or sleeping nights) and live-in care for those needing comprehensive support. These options allow individuals to remain at home with consistent help and companionship.

When does someone with Parkinson’s need professional care?

Everyone’s journey is different. Some people need support early on to remain active, while others seek care as symptoms progress. Our flexible approach means we can start small and adjust the care over time.

What is palliative care for people with Parkinson’s?

We ensure that palliative care for people with Parkinson’s is delivered with sensitivity, compassion, and dignity. Our aim is to keep your loved one as comfortable as possible, offering support with pain management and emotional well-being.

A trusted Care Assistant will be by your side, providing practical and emotional support for the whole family. Together, we can create a personalised care plan that reflects your needs and preferences.

We understand that even simple tasks can feel overwhelming during this time. Our Care Assistants can also help with light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
