Caregivers for people with
Parkinson's Disease
If you or a loved one have Parkinson's disease Whitsyms can help you maintain a good quality of life. In the early stages the caregivers assist with making life easier and safer at home by assisting with the daily activities of life. They can keep the patient active for as long as possible and assist with brain exercises.
Unfortunately, the patient's condition will worsen over time as the condition progresses. Caregivers can adapt a daily routine to support these changes with some creativity and flexibility.
Our referred caregivers make sure that your loved one feels supported and is living a full life. While at the same time they provide a much needed break for a family caregiver. It is important that family caregivers look after their own physical and mental health.
That's when patients turn to Whitsyms to match them with the right caregiver.
The caregiver will assist patients with the activities of daily living:
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Toileting
- Transferring
- Ambulating (walking)
- Continence care and feeding (as needed by the patient and recommended by their physician)
- Medication reminders
- Run errands
- Light housekeeping
- Accompany to doctor’s appointments
- Monitor for gross behavioral changes
- Help to maintain safety
- Passive exercises
More Parkinson's information and support can be found at the National Parkinson Foundation.
