What is Parkinson’s Disease?

If you’re new to caring for someone with Parkinson’s, learning more about it is always a good idea. As an introduction to the disease, we’ll explain what it is and the symptoms experienced. 

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition which causes 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.

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

That being said, 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

The Importance of Parkinson’s Help at Home

Considering professional Parkinson’s care at home? We offer exactly that. At Bluebird Care, 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’s extremely important for individuals who have received a diagnosis, or are managing progressive symptoms, to stay in control and have a choice in their day-to-day life. That’s why we always put our customers at the heart of any Parkinson’s support plan. 

Our Parkinson’s disease home care is highly personalised so that we really understand the true nature of an individual’s condition, needs and preferences. Alongside this, with Parkinson’s help at home we listen to any goals and interests so that they’re considered in the overall plan. 

Our carers are here to provide different kinds of Parkinson’s support, from help around the home to personal care. We also cook meals and have chats over a cup of tea and help with more sensitive issues like bathing. Whatever is required, our carers can support your loved one in a variety of ways.
