Tips to care for a loved one with Parkinson’s disease

I’d like to give a huge shout-out to Home Helpers Home Care for the excellent care they provided my Mom until the Family was forced to put her in a 24/7 memory care facility. Home Helpers was there the following day after meeting with Vish to set up the times we needed the help with my Mom and got us out of a big jam by providing the home care so quickly. Vish did an excellent job explaining everything and how the process works and was everything she said it would be and more.The Home Helpers caregivers were amazing and were well trained and very professional and compassionate in caring for my Mom and we felt their pricing for the home care was fair and reasonable for the excellent care they provided. I highly recommend Home Helpers Home Care and Vish.

I found Home Helpers to be efficient, caring, and easy to work with. My caregiver knew what I needed and took such great care of me. Look forward to working with Home Helpers again.

My aunt is 88 yrs young, had been diagnosed with dementia several years ago. There were a few adjustments she had to deal with once the diagnosis was made by her doctor, like having someone to drive her wherever she needed (after having her driver’s license revoked) but, she was still a very independent person, very engaging and she enjoyed her life. A few days after being discharged home from the hospital after having surgery for a bowel obstruction things took a rapid downturn. Although physically, she was recuperating just fine, her mentation took a nose dive. She needed constant supervision, to ensure she did things like grooming and dressing herself, reminding her to do things, simple things. This proved to be such a dramatic change and burdensome for just one person to do. As well as dishearten, caring for a loved one who was once very vibrant, to suddenly needing constant supervision, like that of a child. Home Helpers Home care was there to give assistance.Their (caregivers) proved to be trained and very professional handling the situation. They helped with my aunts’ care, her hygienic needs, ensured her medication regimen was adhered to. Importantly, the caregivers helped to engage her, stimulated her mentally, played children’s video games involving recognition of shapes and colors, numbers and words. It seemed to relieve some of the anxiety my aunt was displaying in other ways. They made us feel (family) feel comfortable and confident in their skills. We really made the right choice by choosing them to assist us in caring for my aunt. I would recommend them highly to anyone in this situation.
