Help at Home to Manage Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease 

There is still much to know about Parkinson’s disease, for which there is no cure. Parkinson’s is a brain disorder that manifests in shaking, stiffness, difficulty walking and talking, and balance and coordination issues. The symptoms of Parkinson’s typically begin on a gradual basis worsen over time, so families can expect that a loved one diagnosed with the disease will need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) at some stage of this progressive disease. The professional caregivers at Amada Charlotte are trained and well-versed in how to assist seniors and other adults who are managing life with Parkinson’s. They can help adapt the home environment, help monitor systems and communicate changes to the care team and family members, provide medication reminders, assist with prescribed exercises, and much more.     

In-Home Support Following Cancer Treatment or Surgery

With cancer, treatments and prognoses vary, and comprehensive support and encouragement throughout the process is something in which Amada Charlotte caregivers excel. The care team at Amada Charlotte understands that after receiving treatment, many cancer patients need immediate support once they are discharged from the hospital and some might need ongoing support. Our transitional caregiving option provides four hours of immediate caregiver support to ensure patients transition safely from hospital to home after surgery or cancer treatments.

Respite Care for Families During Hospice 

When a senior is ready for in-home hospice care, an increased level of care and responsibility naturally come along with the family’s deepening concerns. Emotions will run high. What’s required of the family can be unrelenting and exhausting in ensuring their senior loved one’s last weeks and days are filled with comfort and dignity. 

Amada’s expert, compassionate caregivers provide a welcome respite from the continuous care and extreme mental and emotional output that accompany the final passage. Sometimes the focus can be so intense, people neglect their most basic needs including showering, eating and sleeping. The option to step away, even briefly, can provide family members with the opportunity to rest, refresh and regroup—knowing their parent, grandparent or spouse is in excellent hands—returning better able to be fully present with their loved one.
