Supporting Seniors with Parkinson’s Disease: In-Home Care in Edmonton That Makes a Difference
April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month—a time to spotlight a condition that affects over 100,000 Canadians. At Home Instead Edmonton, we provide professional, compassionate in-home care Edmonton families trust—especially for seniors navigating the challenges of Parkinson’s disease.
If you're searching for a care giver near me, you're not alone. Many Edmonton families are seeking personalized senior care that helps their loved ones remain safe, independent, and emotionally supported at home.
Understanding the Challenges of Parkinson’s at Home
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that can make daily life difficult for older adults. Some of the most common in-home challenges include:
- Increased risk of falls
- Medication management difficulties
- Trouble with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like dressing and bathing
- Cognitive decline and emotional isolation
Home Instead Edmonton addresses these issues with a care plan tailored to your loved one’s needs.
