Parkinson’s Disease-Challenges and Choices
When a person is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, there are often many questions about the amount or level of care that will be required as the disease progresses. While the disease may not disrupt everyday life early on, as it progresses and becomes more disabling, patients may require more assistance at home. Well-trained and compassionate in-home caregivers, like those at Aker Kasten Home Health Care can provide the adult care services and assistance with activities of daily living that Parkinson’s patients require.
Contact Aker Kasten Home Health Care in the Palm Beach County area for more information about home care for people with Parkinson’s disease.
