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.
