What is Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects the brain and nervous system, causing involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body, stiffness in the muscles and slow movements. A person with Parkinson’s disease can also experience a wide range of other physical and psychological symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, problems with balance, insomnia, memory problems, etc.
Alcedo Care understands how difficult it can be for you and your loved ones when faced with the reality of living with this neurological condition. Even though there is no cure for Parkinson’s, we believe that you can lead a fulfilling and happy life with the right support. We can provide you or your loved ones with bespoke care plans tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to stay in control of your lifestyle from the comfort of your own home.
Parkinson’s care support at home
There is nothing like home! Receiving compassionate care in the comfort, safety, familiarity and the place where you built so many memories through the years can improve your well-being and quality of life, especially when you live with Parkinson’s Disease. For many, a move from home to a care home can cause anxiety, stress and confusion.
With our Alcedo Care Parkinson’s Care services, you or your loved one can continue living in your own home, be close to your family, friends and neighbours and even your beloved pet, live life on your terms, and do not need to change your lifestyle or routines, opposed to a care home. On top of that, you will benefit from one-to-one care focused entirely on your needs to improve your quality of life as well as support you emotionally and psychologically too. Our carers can provide Parkinson’s support, help around the home and personal care.
Personal care –with our personal care we can provide discreet, dignified personal care assisting with bathing, dressing, toileting, oral hygiene, personal appearance, helping you move around the house and preventing any potential falls.

Respite care – our respite care services are suitable for everyone who needs to take a break and look after their well-being. We can look after your loved one, while you get the well-deserved respite time.
