Parkinson's Care at Home in Birmingham

Parkinson's changes from hour to hour as well as year to year. A good morning can give way to a stiff, shaky afternoon if a dose is late. That's why live-in care works so well: a carer who is always there makes sure tablets are taken exactly on time, and plans the day around the times you feel at your best.

Your carer supports walking, getting in and out of chairs and bed, washing and dressing, and helps keep up the exercises your physiotherapist recommends - while your neurologist and Parkinson's nurse continue to lead your treatment.

Working alongside your Parkinson's team

Parkinson's care in Birmingham often involves a neurologist, a Parkinson's nurse specialist, and physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy. Your carer won't replace any of them, but they will follow the advice those professionals give and let you and your family know if they notice changes - such as new falls, swallowing difficulties or confusion.

Parkinson's UK has local groups and information services across the West Midlands, and we can help you find them.

Questions families ask

Parkinson's medication needs to be taken at precise times. A delay can quickly lead to stiffness, tremor or difficulty moving and swallowing, so having a carer present to prompt every dose makes a real difference.

We look for carers with experience of Parkinson's and brief them on your medication schedule and symptoms before care begins.
