Parkinson Disease Care
Parkinson's is a life-changing condition that can be emotionally, socially and physically draining for the individual and their family. At Cerise Healthcare, we can provide specialist Parkinson's disease live in carers to help families adapt to the news of a recent diagnosis or manage the more advanced stages of this progressive disease.
Our experienced carers can provide individuals and their loved ones with Parkinson's care at home. Receiving compassionate, high quality care and support that you can trust in a familiar environment has far-reaching benefits in improving overall health and well-being. Additionally, our live in care service allows individuals with Parkinson's disease to maintain their dignity, independence, and quality of life in the comfort of their own homes.
Parkinson's Care at Home with Live-in Carers
At Cerise Healthcare, we aim to support individuals to live as well as possible through all the changes to their condition. We listen to what is important to individuals and create a support plan with them at the heart.
We believe in working in partnership with customers and their loved ones to provide a tailored care plan that is specific to individual needs and preferences, ensuring personalised support.
Live in care offers comprehensive support, enhancing independence and quality of life by providing not just physical assistance but also companionship in the comfort of one's home.
When faced with a diagnosis of a condition like Parkinson's, we know that staying at home and receiving expert, one-to-one care from a highly trained and compassionate live in carer significantly improves the quality of life for individuals.

What is Parkinson's Disease?
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years. According to Parkinson's UK, there are around 145,000 people who live with Parkinson's in the UK and it's the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world.
Parkinson's develops when dopamine cells in the brain stop working and are lost over time. When the brain cannot make enough dopamine to control movement properly, then symptoms begin to appear. Various risk factors may contribute to the likelihood of developing the condition.
There is uncertainty around the prevention of Parkinson's disease, and further investigation into these potential protective factors is needed.
Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
Many people will notice symptoms for some time prior to their medical diagnosis.
The three main symptoms of Parkinson's disease are:
Slow movement
Involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body (tremors)
Stiff and inflexible muscles
There are more than 40 symptoms of Parkinson's disease, and it affects everyone differently. Other physical and psychological symptoms include:
Sleep problems
Mild memory and thinking problems
Balance problems
Urinary problems or constipation
Loss of sense of smell
Difficult swallowing, chewing and speaking
Depression and anxiety
Other symptoms related to the disease's complexity
The Importance of Personalised Support for Parkinson's Help at Home
At Cerise Healthcare, we believe people living with Parkinson's disease have the right to enjoy a high quality of life, with independence and dignity in their own homes. It is extremely important for individuals who have received a diagnosis or are managing progressive symptoms to retain control and choice in their life. That's why we will always put our customers at the heart of any Parkinson's support plan.
Our Parkinson's disease home care is highly personalised to ensure we understand the true nature of an individual's condition, needs and preferences, as well as their goals and interests. Our carers are here to provide personalised support, help around the home and personal care.
From cooking meals and having a chat over a cup of tea, to helping with more sensitive issues like bathing, our carers can support your loved one in a number of ways. If your loved one requires further Parkinson's care at home, then you can rest assured our carers are on-hand to provide quality care that is warm, friendly and full of enthusiasm.
