Live-in Care Parkinson’s
What is Parkinson's home care?
Parkinson's home care is a specialised service that provides personalised support for individuals living with Parkinson's disease in the comfort of their own homes.
It includes assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation, as well as medication management and mobility support to address symptoms like tremors or stiffness.
Home care can also involve physical therapy, speech therapy, and strategies to enhance safety and independence.
By focusing on the unique needs of each person, Parkinson's home care helps improve quality of life while allowing individuals to remain in a familiar and supportive environment.
What is Parkinson's?
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and coordination. It occurs when nerve cells in the brain producing dopamine, a chemical that helps control movement, become damaged or die.
While there is no cure, treatments like medications, lifestyle adjustments, and therapies can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Symptoms of Parkinson’s:
- Tremors
- Muscle Stiffness
- Slow Movements
- Balance issues
- Sleep disturbances
- Depression
- Cognitive changes
What is the main cause of Parkinson’s?
The main causes of Parkinson's disease are not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Damage to nerve cells in the brain leads to reduced dopamine levels, which affects movement control.
Genetic mutations are linked to Parkinson's in some cases, though they are rare. Environmental factors, such as exposure to pesticides or toxins, may also increase the risk.
Age is a significant factor, with the disease more common in older adults.
How many people in the UK are affected by Parkinson's?
Approximately 150,000 people in the UK are affected by Parkinson’s disease, with around 1 in 37 being affected by the disease.
Is home care suitable for a person with Parkinson's?
Individuals with Parkinson's can greatly benefit from 24/7 assistance from a live-in carer, enhancing their quality of life. Noble Live-in Care offers Parkinson’s home care and support with personal care, companionship, care, household tasks, medication management, and regular well-being checks.
The benefits of live-in care for Parkinson's patients:
Symptom management
Live-in carers can assist with managing Parkinson's symptoms such as tremors, muscle stiffness, fatigue, difficulty with balance, and coordination issues. They also provide medication reminders and supportive care to ensure comfort.
Independence
Live-in carers help Parkinson's patients maintain their independence by assisting with daily tasks like dressing, eating, and mobility, as well as providing transportation when needed.
Reduced hospital admissions
Having a live-in carer can reduce the risk of falls, infections, and hospital readmissions by providing constant support and assistance to ensure safety at home.
Personalised parkinsons care
Live-in care is customised to meet the specific needs and preferences of each individual with Parkinson's, ensuring a higher quality of care and better overall outcomes.
Managing medication
Our carers are trained in medication management, ensuring that Parkinson’s patients take their medications on time. We also handle prescription refills and pickups to simplify the process.
Consistency and continuity
A live-in carer provides continuity in care, routines, and relationships. This consistent support helps Parkinson's patients cope with changes, reducing stress and enhancing comfort in their daily lives.
Emotional support
Live-in carers offer companionship and emotional support, helping to alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation that Parkinson's patients may experience. They also assist with everyday tasks, making life easier.
End-of-life support
For those nearing the end of life, Parkinson’s care can include palliative support, guiding families through the challenges and ensuring comfort during this difficult time.
Pet care
Our live-in carers also support pets, ensuring they receive proper care and attention, including walks and feeding, allowing Parkinson's patients to maintain their bond with their furry companions.

How much does home care for Parkinson's cost?
The cost of live-in care for someone with Parkinson's is in line with, and sometimes less than, residential care. The total cost depends on numerous factors, such as location and the type of care required. Get in touch with our team for more information about funding Parkinson's care.
Your loved one may be eligible for the local council to pay towards the cost of care if they have less than £23,250 in savings. From October 2025, this will rise to £100,000 in savings.
The first step is for the council to assess how much help your loved one needs. This is called a ‘needs assessment’. The needs assessment is free and anyone can ask for one. Find out more about getting a needs assessment.
If your loved one requires care, the council will then do a financial assessment to work out what they will have to pay towards the cost of their care.
If the patient has savings worth more than £23,250, rising to £100,000 in October 2025, they will not be entitled to help with the cost of care from the local council.
