We know that providing individual care requires meeting individual needs-health, family, cultural, religious, and dietary. Our unique approach to addressing these needs with specialized services and home health care education has helped to make us a leader in the field of geriatric care.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the area of the brain that controls muscle movement. Specially trained caregivers possess vast knowledge and an understanding of Parkinson's that helps them stay in tune with each client's needs. Caregivers must be educated on the symptoms of proper Parkinson's disease management and the early signs that include a blank look, shaky hands, decreased arm swinging, stooped posture, shorter walking steps, weakness, and fatigue.

Our Geriatric Care Managers are experienced and trained in Parkinson Disease Management. Parkinson's disease is a very complicated and diverse disease. Individual patients differ in severity, symptoms and treatment. Our Geriatric Care Managers will conduct an in-depth assessment , interview the designated medical team and confer with family members to design a care plan that promotes wellness and safety.

Our Caregivers are experienced and trained to identify and report symptoms to our professional staff members. Our caregivers are trained in disease management and know how to identify the many risks associated with unanticipated stiffening that can cause other motion challenges and risks of falling. They also know how to anticipate a weakening voice and bouts of depression. Most importantly, they understand how to compassionately deal with issues of safety, pain and dignity.
