Flexible, personalized support for a condition that demands both.
I have heard anecdotally from several people recently that they are seeing more clients with Parkinson’s disease. I have been more in tune with the disease due to my mother-in-law being diagnosed several years ago as well as seeing it withing our own clients. It tuns out that there actually is continued growth with the disease, according to CDC Wonder data, and it is projected to continue to grow per the BMJ. At AlestaCare, our first interest is how to respond to it.
A Parkinson’s diagnosis changes daily life in ways that are hard to predict. Movement, balance, speech, and cognition can all be affected, often at different rates and in different combinations. What families find themselves managing is rarely what they anticipated, and it tends to shift over time.
Care That Adapts
Parkinson’s is progressive. What works in early stages may not be sufficient later, which is why AlestaCare builds care plans designed to move with the condition rather than stay fixed to it. Our caregivers maintain regular observation of changes in condition, appetite, mood, and physical status, communicating proactively with families. Families are never left to notice a shift on their own.
What Our Caregivers Do
As a non-medical home care company, AlestaCare caregivers assist with personal care, mobility support, fall prevention, medication reminders, meal preparation, companionship, and transportation throughout the Charleston metro. Additionally, our emphasis on physical activity within AlestaLiving has a very real application and support for those with Parkinson’s.
Our caregivers are trained professionals who understand that preserving independence means anticipating needs and building genuine relationships. Our goal is to enable our clients to do as much as they are able.
Supporting the Whole Family
For families, Parkinson’s care-giving is often exhausting and emotionally complex, particularly for spouses managing it day to day. AlestaCare provides professional relief that gives primary family caregivers time to rest and attend to their own lives with complete confidence. We are a steady presence through a long and changing journey, for the person with Parkinson’s and for the people who love them.
AlestaCare works with clients wherever they call home, whether that is a private residence, a hospital, a rehab unit, or a residential community. We want them to feel at home wherever they are.
