It is widely acknowledged that changes in lifestyle can improve the quality of life and slow down the progression of the disorder. Regular exercising is proven to improve mobility and strength and fight mobility issues. Diet also plays an important part, with foods rich in antioxidants and fibre being strongly recommended by professionals. A general, well-thought-out routine and the introduction of adaptive tools can also make the disease more manageable.

Unfortunately, lifestyle cannot cure Parkinson’s, but good habits work well together with medical treatments and therapies to strengthen the individual’s physique and mental health.

The risk of Parkinson’s increases with age. Generally, it is at the age of 50 that the first symptoms may occur. On average, the onset of the disease affects those in their 70s. Men are more likely to develop it.

As the disease progresses, the need for full-time care for individuals increases. Apart from assistance with daily activities that become more difficult to manage, personalised care also helps manage medication administration and build healthy routines. Parkinson’s can also raise the sense of isolation and increase the risk of depression. Caregivers fight the risk by providing much-needed companionship and understanding in the comfort of the individual’s home. These are essential to maintain comfort and dignity.

In-home care is really about creating a safe and supportive environment for the individual so they can experience life in the best way possible.
