Question 1

Can your caregivers give my loved one their Parkinson's medications?

Accepted Answer

Our caregivers provide consistent medication reminders and help keep time-sensitive doses on schedule, but as a non-medical home care provider we do not prescribe, fill, inject, or administer medications. We prompt, observe, and report concerns to your family and providers, and we coordinate closely with the nurses and physicians who handle the clinical side of care.

Question 2

How do caregivers help with freezing of gait and fall risk?

Accepted Answer

Our caregivers offer steady, hands-on support with walking and transfers, watch for hazards in the home, and use calm cueing techniques that can help your loved one move through a freezing episode. For families especially concerned about safety, this pairs well with our dedicated fall prevention support to reduce the risk of injury at home.

Question 3

Do you replace my loved one's physical therapist or doctor?

Accepted Answer

No. We complement, never replace, your loved one's medical and therapy team. Our caregivers reinforce doctors' guidance and gently encourage the exercises and stretches prescribed by physical and occupational therapists, while handling the daily living support, supervision, and companionship that help your loved one stay safe between professional visits.

Question 4

How much does Parkinson's care at home cost?

Accepted Answer

Parkinson's care is billed at our standard hourly home care rates, with flexible scheduling that can start with a few hours a day and scale up as needs change. Some long-term care insurance policies, as well as VA and EEOICPA/DEEOIC benefits, may help cover the cost for eligible families. Visit our rates page for detailed pricing information.

Question 5

Can care adjust as Parkinson's progresses?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Parkinson's changes over time, and our care plans are designed to evolve with it. We reassess regularly and can increase support, add overnight or around-the-clock care, and adapt routines as mobility, energy, and daily needs shift, so your loved one always has the right level of support.
