Here are a few tips to keep in mind to ensure your loved one can safely remain at home, especially as the disease progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Adapt your home<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Parkinson\u2019s affects people\u2019s movements, balance and stability, so it\u2019s important for them to live in a safe environment that is well-lit, free of clutter and well-organized. Avoid using excessive patterns throughout the home and install ambulation aids, such as grab bars, where necessary. Consider raising the toilet seat and the bed height, as well, to <a href=\"..\/..\/fall-prevention-safety-tips-to-prevent-falls-for-seniors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">minimize fall risks at home<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare for an emergency<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Familiarize yourself with the fastest route to the nearest hospital in case an emergency arises. If your loved one is left alone often, consider buying emergency assistance technology, such as medical alert pendants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Incorporate a nutritious diet<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutrition makes a huge difference in all seniors\u2019 lives, but especially those with Parkinson\u2019s disease. Since this disorder stems from changes in the brain, foods that promote brain health\u2014neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, fiber-rich and high-antioxidant foods\u2014can help minimize motor and non-motor symptoms. On the other hand, foods high in sugar or carbohydrates may worsen your loved one\u2019s symptoms.<sup>2 <\/sup>Talk to your doctor to figure out what changes in diet can help your loved one and what types of <a href=\"..\/..\/daily-habits-for-a-vibrant-senior-lifestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">daily habits can contribute to a healthier lifestyle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stay well hydrated<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying hydrated can help relieve digestive issues, especially constipation. If increasing your loved one\u2019s water intake leads to urinary incontinence or urgency, then you may consider adding food high in water content to their diet, such as tomato, cucumber, celery or grapefruit.<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Practice medication compliance<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important for seniors with Parkinson\u2019s to take their medication as prescribed, as this will help treat motor and non-motor symptoms. Taking proper medication and incorporating a healthy diet may cause the medicine to be more effective. Some foods, especially those high in protein, can affect how quickly the medication is absorbed, used or metabolized by your body.<sup>2<\/sup> Talk to your doctor to ensure your loved one\u2019s diet, prescription, and schedules align.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engage in physical activity<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating regular aerobics, strength training, agility workouts and stretching can help improve motor and non-motor Parkinson\u2019s symptoms.<sup>3 <\/sup>Seniors with Parkinson\u2019s disease are encouraged to exercise shortly after taking medication and with a partner who can monitor them. Talk to your loved one\u2019s doctor or trainer to establish a workout routine that fits their unique needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Provide your best self<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Parkinson\u2019s disease is hard on everyone, from the individual to their friends and family. As a caregiver, you can only provide compassionate care to your loved one if you care for yourself as well. Be sure to identify your stress triggers and determine your limits. When it\u2019s time for you to take a break, take one. Use that time to decompress so that when you return, you\u2019re able to be kind and patient with your loved one. You\u2019re allowed to feel your emotions and to give yourself grace.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-care-and-support-for-people-living-with-parkinson-s\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_care_and_support_for_people_living_with_Parkinsons\"><\/span>Additional care and support for people living with Parkinson&#8217;s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Caring for a loved one with Parkinson\u2019s disease can be difficult to navigate on your own.
