Care Support For Parkinson’s in Singapore

Parkinson Disease is not fatal. On average, a person with Parkinson’s can expect to live almost as long as those without the condition. However, related complications may reduce life expectancy by 1 to 2 years.

Different forms of exercises can help with different motor symptoms. An individual looking to improve balance can consider tai chi and yoga. Dancing or boxing, on the other hand, may improve coordination and agility. Those with limited mobility can perform seated aerobic exercises.

There are many ways we can support a loved one diagnosed with Parkinson Disease, from educating ourselves and managing finances, to lending a listening ear and supporting with daily activities.

In-home Parkinson’s care support allows individuals with Parkinson’s to receive holistic care in the comfort of home.

Homage’s trained Care Professionals can assist with the following activities:

• Personal hygiene, includes showering, toileting, diaper changing and dressing
• Mobility support, includes manual or assisted transfers to facilitate movement around the home and reduce fall-risk
• Companionship to interact through activities and conversations to keep loneliness at bay
• Staying active, includes home and outdoor exercises
• Medication reminders for prompt medication consumption
• Meal preparation, purchase of takeaway or cooking meals suitable for the care recipient’s diet
• Medical escorts to doctor’s appointment and medication collection
• Light housekeeping, includes keeping the care recipient’s room spick and span, washing the care recipient’s dishes
• Simple nursing care, includes tube feeding and suctioning
• Complex nursing procedures, includes wound and stoma care
• Home physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy
