Understanding Parkinson's Disease
What is Parkinson's Disease?
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, causing symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and balance problems. As the disease progresses, it can lead to difficulties with daily activities and a decreased quality of life. Managing Parkinson's disease requires comprehensive care that addresses both physical and emotional needs.
Challenges of Parkinson's Care
Caring for a loved one with Parkinson's disease can be demanding. Family members often struggle to balance their own lives with the needs of their loved one. Professional home care can provide the necessary support to ensure that both the patient and their family caregivers receive the help they need.
