Parkinson's Care at Home in Coral Gables
Updated: Oct 16
Parkinson's changes over time, and so does the help a person needs. For many families in Coral Gables, care at home lets their parent stay in familiar surroundings with the right support. This guide explains what that support looks like.
Everyday challenges with Parkinson's
People living with Parkinson's may have tremors, stiffness, slower movement and trouble with balance. Some days are better than others. Simple tasks such as buttoning a shirt, getting out of a chair or eating a meal can take longer and become tiring.
How a caregiver helps
Steady support getting up, walking and moving around the house, to lower the risk of falls.
Help with bathing, dressing and grooming, at your parent's pace.
Preparing meals that are easy to manage and helping at mealtimes.
Medication reminders on schedule, because timing matters with Parkinson's.
Encouraging the exercises your parent's doctors and therapists recommend.
Getting to and from appointments.
Companionship, patience and encouragement.
Keeping the home safe
Clear walkways, good lighting, grab bars and sturdy chairs make a real difference. A caregiver watches for new hazards and lets the family know when something should change.
As needs change
Many families start with a few hours a day. As Parkinson's progresses, care can grow to 12-hour shifts, 24-hour care or live-in care.
Matching the right caregiver
We match caregivers for experience and fit with your parent, and aim for consistency. Spanish-speaking caregivers are available.
