A loss of muscle control is the major effect of Parkinson’s Disease. It usually starts with small tremors and stiffness in the extremities and progresses from there. How quickly Parkinson’s advances in based on the individual and can be hard to predict.
Parkinson’s is the result of a structural change in the brain, the cause of which is still unknown. The dopamine receptors in the brain stop functioning and are not replaced with new receptor cells. When the brain does not get enough dopamine, it cannot properly manage muscle movements.
Early symptoms of Parkinson’s include:
Drooling
Impaired balance
Slow blinking
Muscle aches
Monotone voice
Difficulty swallowing
Slow speech
Parkinson’s usually develops in adults over the age of 60. As you get older, your risk of developing this disease increases. There is a genetic component making people with Parkinson’s Disease in their families more likely to develop it themselves. Also, more men than women end up with Parkinson’s.
Parkinson’s Disease Treatment
There is no cure for Parkinson’s. In fact, the cause is still a mystery. There are ways to treat the symptoms and make patients comfortable when the disease progresses. Keeping patients in their own homes and providing the care they need there is one way to make it easier for them to cope with Parkinson’s Disease.
At Active Senior Care, we make it possible for you to care for a loved one at home with Parkinson’s Disease. As the disease progresses, it can be too much for you to handle on your own. Active Senior Care can give you the skilled nursing support you need to manage Parkinson’s at home.
We are available 24/7 for client needs because we understand that home care is not just a day job. Sometimes you need help after-hours or on weekends.
Our services range from companion care to skilled nursing. We can provide you with respite care when you need to get out and cannot leave your loved one home alone. We can also help with personal care, meal preparation, bathing, toileting and dressing.

My mother in law is now 82 years old, she is very fragile and needs assistance with some activities of daily living like bathing, dressing and grooming. We have had many different caregivers with a lot of turnover, until we found active home care. They came to our home before starting services and met my mother in law, after that they allowed us to interview different caregivers until we felt comfortable. We are very happy with the caregiver and the service provided by the company.read less
