Caring for a Loved One with Parkinson's Disease
Family caregivers who have a senior loved one with ALS or Parkinson's disease may find themselves overwhelmed as the disease claims more and more of their loved one's motor functions. As mobility and fine motor skills deteriorate, you may require more and more living assistance with the challenges of daily life. Risks of falling increase greatly, which makes it less safe for you to be left alone. In the late stages of the disease, you may be bedridden and require mechanical ventilation which necessitates a completely different level of care.
A few of the areas Comfort Keepers caregivers can help with include:
- Bathing, grooming, and dressing
- Toileting, incontinence, and perineal care
- Ostomy assistance
- Dietary help, including planning, preparation, and eating assistance
- Mobility assistance, including getting up and down and using transfer devices
- Housekeeping and laundry support
- Transportation services
- Running errands
- Companionship
ALS or Parkinson's disease can make life challenging for you and your family caregivers. With Comfort Keepers’ support, however, freedom, independence, and quality of life can be maximized while seniors safely enjoy living in the comfort and convenience of their own home.
