We had a similar journey with my mom. What really helped was finding caregivers who understood Parkinson’s specifically — not just general home aides. They assisted with medication schedules, helped with exercises, and even made sure she stayed engaged socially. I found Parkinson's Home Care Services resource helpful: https://myallamericancare.com/parkinsons-home-care-services/ . It gave me a better idea of the types of services out there and what to expect. My advice is to prioritize consistency and find people who show real empathy.

Watching someone deal with a chronic illness like Parkinson’s really highlights how much everyday tasks can change. Sometimes it’s not the big medical stuff but the small, thoughtful actions that make the biggest difference — like having someone to talk to or a little extra help getting around the house. Caregiving often becomes about adapting constantly, which takes a lot of patience and kindness.
