Parkinson’s care

Pioneering Parkinson’s care

A diagnosis of Parkinson’s doesn’t mean that your lifestyle – your preferences and interests should change. With our pioneering care, you should be able to live independently at home.

Parkinson’s disease is a long-term degenerative disorder that progressively affects parts of the brain and lead to life-changing condition. The symptoms of Parkinson’s disease include tremors, sstiffness and inflexibility of muscles that results in slow movement as well as depression and anxiety. Parkinson’s disease may also result in insomnia, memory loss and problems with maintaining balance.

Our nursing-led team work in collaboration with occupational therapist and physiotherapist to provide the best personalised and bespoke care patients with Parkinson’s disease. Our care services are based on the principle that being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease should not mark the end of a person’s life. Certainly, it doesn’t mean that you or your loved one should move into a residential care home. It is well known that home-based nursing led care for people with Parkinson’s care enables them to maintain healthy conditions in the familiar surroundings. That’s why our nurses and care workers have been trained to provide as much assistance as possible to meet the needs pf persons with Parkinson’s disease and to help them remain independent at home.

Flexible Parkinson’s care in the home

At Verity healthcare, we believe that people living with Parkinson’s disease have the right to enjoy a high quality of life to the full with independence and dignity in their own home.  Whether a few hours a week or long-term live-in services, our nurse-led team will help you to remain as healthy as possible during the early or maintenance phase of the condition through to the period where you will require longer periods of advanced, complex or palliative care.

We are focused on ensuring that people with Parkinson’s retain choice and control in life so that they can fulfil their desire to remain in their own home and community which is essential to their overall wellbeing. That’s why prior to offering care and support, one of our senior care managers will meet with you to understand your needs and will work with you to put in place a care plan based on your preferences, needs and choices.

Our nurses and healthcare assistants have deeper outstanding of this condition and are able to provide care services to your exact needs or that of loved ones. The care workers and nurses will support you so that you don’t have to move out of a familiar home environment and into residential care, even if the disease progresses. The care workers and nurses can provide short-term for a few hours or on-going specialist care and support so you can continue to live independently and minimize any disruptions to your daily living and your family.

Specific and specialist support for you

At Verity Healthcare, we place great importance on continuity and consistency and so we allocate specific carers and nurses without  rotating carers. That’s why we work to ensure that you or your loved one have the peace of mind and the assurance that you’ll receive the support you need without having to endure any disruptions.

Our support isn’t intended to take away your independence. We provide care that helps you live your life to the fullest and be contended. Our nurses and health care assistants will support you to do things for yourself. As it becomes more challenging to do things, our nurses or care workers can assist with personal care – bathing, dressing, getting into or out of bed, shaving or help manage your medication so you can take them at different times of day. The care workers can hand with practical daily tasks such as like shopping, cooking, cleaning and laundry. We’re mindful that your condition may change quickly and the care staff will adapt the care offered to meet your changing needs.
