Parkinson's Disease Care

Care that understands the rhythms of Parkinson's.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder affecting movement, balance, and, over time, cognition and swallowing. Nearly one million Americans live with Parkinson's, and symptoms vary widely from person to person and even hour to hour depending on medication cycles.
For families in Buckhead, Virginia-Highland, Morningside, Inman Park, and Decatur, quality in-home care requires caregivers who understand this complexity: the difference between on and off medication states, how to safely assist with mobility without increasing fall risk, and the fatigue and depression that frequently accompany the disease.
Our Care Managers work directly with your loved one's neurologist to align care with their treatment plan, including precise medication timing, therapy exercise follow-through, and appropriate activity levels throughout the day.

(470) 945-4800Medication timing is everything in Parkinson's care.
One of the most critical, and frequently overlooked, aspects of Parkinson's home care is medication timing. Most Parkinson's medications have narrow therapeutic windows; being even 30 to 60 minutes late can trigger a significant increase in motor symptoms, confusion, and fall risk.
Our caregivers treat Parkinson's medication schedules with clinical-level precision, and communicate proactively with families and neurologists when symptom changes are observed.
- SureStep certified fall prevention assessment
- Parkinson's-specific transfer and mobility technique training
- Medication log and timing documentation
- Neurologist care plan coordination
- LSVT follow-through support
