As a condition that gradually gets more problematic over time, the focus of care is placed on relieving the main symptoms associated with the disease and providing the best possible quality of life for the resident at all times. It is a comprehensive and long-term approach in which the resident moves in to a care centre that specialises in supporting the needs of people with this condition. They are equipped with the appropriate features, trained team members and appropriate procedures. This disease is not uncommon, and the numbers are only expected to grow in the. However, there are still very few facilities dedicated to caring for people living with this disease, which can make the process of finding a home for loved ones even more difficult. It is important to note that in the early stages of Parkinson’s a loved one may seem relatively fine and able to live in an environment with minimal supervision and professional care. This often causes a family to seek a lower level of care that may be inappropriate in just a short time. On the other hand, facilities with specialised care for people living with Parkinson’s disease provide a long term home without the disruption of settling in to a new facility all over again. Contact us now and talk to one of our team about how Forest Healthcare can provide the knowledgeable and caring environment required to help people living with this condition.
