Share the Care

Introducing professional support early on can make a big difference for both you and your loved one. Parkinson’s care providers are specially trained to support people with movement disorders, speech changes, cognitive shifts, and emotional wellbeing.

Having a regular visiting carer or even exploring live-in care as the condition progresses can:

• Help maintain routines and independence
• Offer expert help with medication, mobility and personal care
• Give you peace of mind, time to rest and space to focus on your own needs

Bringing in external support can also be socially enriching for your loved one. Building relationships with trained carers provides stimulation, companionship, and consistency in their daily life.

Build a Support Network

You don’t have to go through this alone. A strong support network might include:

• Family and friends
• Your loved one’s medical team and Parkinson’s nurse
• Local Parkinson’s support groups or community hubs
• Charities such as Parkinson’s UK

As the condition progresses, having open conversations, sharing concerns and learning from others with similar experiences can offer reassurance and emotional strength.
