    Specialized Parkinson’s Training. Thoughtful, Personal Care.

    You want someone who understands Parkinson’s and takes the time to understand your loved one. Senior Helpers’ Parkinson’s Care Program was developed with leading experts from the Parkinson’s Foundation’s Centers of Excellence network. The program, the first of its kind in the in-home senior care industry, prepares caregivers to understand the condition and provide informed, individualized support.

    That education connects directly to everyday care: allowing extra time for dressing, understanding the importance of medication schedules, and recognizing when familiar activities may require additional assistance.

    What Our Caregivers Learn

    • How Parkinson’s progresses and how support needs may change.
    • Motor and non-motor symptoms, including movement, cognitive, and behavioral changes.
    • Home safety practices and approaches to fall prevention.
    • Nutrition considerations and support with daily meal routines.
    • The importance of medication timing and scheduled reminders.
    • Light exercise to support balance, mobility, and strength.
    • Recognizing changes in posture and facial expressions.

    Understanding these topics helps caregivers approach daily routines with greater awareness and patience. Your loved one’s preferences remain central, and their healthcare team’s guidance informs the support included in the care plan. Families can share what works well at home, where frustrations arise, and which activities their loved one wants to continue doing independently.

    Practical Support for Everyday Life With Parkinson’s

    The right assistance can make daily routines feel more manageable while preserving the choices that matter to your loved one. We build support around their needs, whether that means help getting ready in the morning, preparing a familiar meal, or giving a family caregiver time to rest.

    • Personal care with dignity: Our personal care services include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and restroom routines, with attention to your loved one’s privacy, comfort, preferred pace, and participation.
    • Support moving around the home: Caregivers assist with everyday mobility according to the care plan and pay attention to potential fall hazards along the routes your loved one uses.
    • Meals made with care: We help plan and prepare meals that reflect personal tastes, familiar routines, and dietary guidance provided by your loved one’s healthcare team.
    • Medication reminders: Caregivers offer timely prompts based on the prescribed schedule, helping your loved one keep medication times in mind throughout their established daily routine.
    • Help with daily routines: Assistance with errands and light household tasks, along with meaningful companionship, supports a more manageable day and time for activities your loved one enjoys.
    • Respite for family caregivers: Our respite care provides dependable support so you can rest, handle other responsibilities, or spend time with your loved one outside of caregiving tasks.

    Our caregivers provide non-medical care. For medication, we offer reminders according to the schedule prescribed by your loved one’s healthcare provider. Your local office can explain the assistance available in your area.

    How We Personalize Your Loved One’s Care

    Finding the right care starts with a conversation. We listen to what’s becoming difficult, what your loved one wants to keep doing independently, and where your family could use support.

    1. Contact us. Tell us about your loved one’s daily routine, your concerns, and the help you’re considering.
    2. Arrange a free in-home assessment. We use our LIFE Profile to understand care needs, home safety concerns, preferences, and goals.
    3. Build a personalized care plan. Together, we outline assistance and scheduling that complement guidance from your loved one’s medical team.
    4. Discuss caregiver matching. We consider your loved one’s care requirements and personal preferences when arranging caregiver support.
    5. Begin care with ongoing check-ins. We stay in communication with your family and review the plan as needs change.

    Your loved one remains part of the conversation, with opportunities to share preferences and ask questions throughout the process.

    Care That Changes as Needs Change

    Everyone’s experience is different. The support your loved one needs today may look different from the help they need later. Our approach starts with their current abilities, preferences, and routines, with room to revisit the plan together.

    Early On

    Many families begin with help around the house, including errands, meals, medication reminders, and companionship. This support can leave more time and energy for familiar interests and relationships. We listen to what your loved one wants to handle independently and identify where a helping hand would be welcome, without assuming they need assistance with every activity.

    As Needs Grow

    Your loved one may benefit from more regular personal care, walking assistance, and attention to potential fall hazards. We work with your family to adjust the care plan around the activities that have become difficult. If changes in memory or thinking also affect daily routines, ask about our Alzheimer's and dementia care services and discuss those concerns with your loved one’s healthcare provider.

    When More Support Is Needed

    We work with your family and, with your permission, your loved one’s medical team to discuss additional support, including more hours of care where available. Planning considers comfort, personal routines, and family caregiver needs. Ongoing conversations help clarify what home care can provide and when additional healthcare services may be appropriate.

    Discuss exercise, assistive devices, and changes to symptom-support routines with your loved one’s healthcare team. These resources complement professional guidance and prescribed treatment.
