Parkinson’s Home Care in Emerson, NJ

Parkinson’s Disease Care in Emerson, NJ

Receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease is a scary and uncertain
time for both the patient and family members. So many questions will be piling up in your mind….how did I get
this disease? Will it ever get better? Can I live a normal life? These
are all valid questions that beg answers.While we may not have all the answers, Home Helpers can help you or your
loved one in Emerson adjust to life with Parkinson’s
and have the help and companionship needed along the way!

• If you are not familiar with Parkinson’s Disease, here are a few
  quick things to keep in mind:
• More than 1 million Americans have been diagnosed
• It currently has no cure but does have helpful treatments to manage it well
• New medications are being developed all the time
• Researchers are busier than ever trying to find a cure

Home Helpers understands that there will come a day when family members
alone can’t give all the help that may be needed or may not have the knowledge to properly care for the patient as the
disease progresses. We offer above and beyond help to get through the
day comfortably. Our team can also assist in these areas:

• Meal Planning/Nutrition. Parkinson’s patients need a diet that strengthens bones and muscles.
  Our caregivers understand how to help layout a menu that will be the most
  beneficial for your loved one.
• Security and Supervision. Many patients with Parkinson’s Disease are older adults, when they
  may be getting unsteady on their feet anyway. An unsteady gait that comes
  with Parkinson’s can present challenges, but our caregiving team
  knows how to help keep your loved one safe by putting safety checks in
  place inside the house. They will go through the home and help you know
  what needs to change so that there is minimal risk of trips or falls.
• Exercise and Mobility. The doctor may prescribe physical therapy or other exercises to help you
  stay as safe and mobile as possible. Our team can help you follow through
  with the home exercise routine.
• Relieving Family Members. This might be one of the most important services of all—giving tired
  family members some rest. Parkinson’s Disease can be challenging
  and tiring in those times when everyone is getting used to the changes
  and learning how to find a new normal. Our compassionate caregivers can
  bring respite and expertise to stressed-out families while keeping the
  patient safe and comfortable! We want to be an extended family to you.
