More than 50% of persons with Parkinson’s Disease are also diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease Psychosis (P.D.P.), a condition primarily characterized by visual hallucinations. According to a new study published in JAMDA, a team of researchers discovered that persons with PDP were four times more likely to die from antipsychotic treatment than those who did not receive any antipsychotic drugs. Living with an elderly loved one who has PDP is no easy feat, but with the assistance of a live-in caregiver, family members rest assured that they can rely on A-1 Home Care to meet the needs of their loved ones. While you weigh the pros and cons of your beloved’s prescriptions, you can still depend on good old-fashioned help from a seasoned Parkinson’s caregiver.
Parkinson’s Disease comes with a host of progressive symptoms, such as tremors, slurred speech, distorted olfactory senses, stiffness, and difficulty with walking. To ameliorate the symptoms of this disease, a highly skilled caregiver will implement an exercise routine and assist with activities of daily living. Along with personal care, medication monitoring, and transportation, a certified home health aide prepares meals rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Prevent falls with the presence of a vigilant caregiver who will stay awake all night or day so that you can have peace of mind.
