2. Guidance for a healthy diet plan
A balanced and nutritious diet is essential for managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in the elderly. Our RNs give personalized guidance on healthy eating habits which are specifically tailored to your seniors’ condition. Our primary goal is to help aging adults living in Birmingham make healthy choices while managing the challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease.
3. Meal preparation
Healthy foods play a vital role in maintaining good health, particularly for seniors with Parkinson’s disease.

We work closely with elders to understand their taste palate and boost their well-being. Whether they have specific dietary restrictions or preferences, our in-home care service ensures that they receive proper nourishment to lead a healthier life.
4. Activities of daily living
Maintaining independence is important as we age, and we are here to help your seniors with activities of daily living (ADLs). This includes assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and more. Our Parkinson’s home care service offers compassionate support so that elders can maintain their dignity while receiving the support they need. The caregivers of AHN also offer personal care and emotional support so that seniors can thrive in their golden years.
5. Mental Health Support
Living with Parkinson’s disease can be emotionally challenging for aging adults. We offer mental health support to help them cope with this condition effectively. Parkinson’s can impact mental health, causing feelings of anxiety, depression, and frustration. Our Parkinson’s caregivers understand this and offer a comforting presence, to help seniors navigate their emotions.
6. Physical therapy
Physical therapy (PT) is a crucial component of Parkinson’s disease care. Our caregivers are trained to create personalized exercise programs that focus on improving mobility, balance, and flexibility. These exercises are designed to help your loved ones maintain their independence and overall quality of life. We conduct exercise sessions in the comfort of seniors’ homes, making it convenient for them to receive the care they need.
7. Speech Therapy
Changes in voice quality are common symptoms of PD such as a hoarse voice, monotone speech, mumbling, and reduced volume. Our experts teach elders non-verbal communication like gestures and facial expressions to improve their voice quality and tone. They also help seniors to strengthen the muscles involved in speech production and teach techniques to improve breath control. Our evidence-based techniques make it easier for aging adults to swallow food and eat more safely.
