It's important to understand the particular needs of one individual with Parkinson's disease may be very different from the next person with Parkinson's disease. With this in mind, the caregiver we refer to a client with Parkinson's disease will be able to assist the individual with a variety of services to meet his/her needs.
Some of the more common tasks and chores performed by the credentialed Nurse (RN), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Certified Nursing (CNA) or Home Health Aid (HHA) include assistance with bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, meal preparation and medication reminders. The caregiver may also be able to provide services such as transportation and errands, light housekeeping and laundry, to mention a few. The goal of the caregiver's service is to keep the individual as independent as possible while providing safe and reliable assistance as needed. For a complete listing of tasks and chores the caregiver may provide, please refer to our Services page.
