Palos Hills Parkinson’s Support & Care

Caring for a Loved One with Parkinson’s

If you have a loved one with Parkinson’s disease, you already know the challenges that come with living with the disease. Your loved one may need help daily activities, managing medications, and even making financial decisions. Parkinson’s disease brings challenges for loved ones and caregivers as well as for those with Parkinson’s.

Parkinson’s disease is a chronic and progressive disorder, generally associated with trembling of the limbs; the symptoms continue and worsen over time. Nearly one million people in the US are living with Parkinson’s disease, some of the most well-known with it being Muhammed Ali and Michael J. Fox.. The cause is unknown and there is no cure.

Care giving can be trying at times, and as a care giver for your loved one, it may be difficult to let others help or even to take time for yourself. But you owe to your loved one and yourself, to explore your options for finding help for the care of your loved one.

You don’t have to face this challenge alone.
