I liked the post because it is educative. To me, the most important thing is love and understanding. One needs to understand the person living with PD and love them like so. Do not make them feel as though they are a bother to you everytime they ask to be walked out, fed or taken to the toilet.

Adaptive utensils

Since they crave for independence. It is also good to get them some good utensils that contain the tremors. There are some very good parkinson’s spoons such as liftware, gyenno and others that help contain the tremors. Cups are also available such as the handsteady cup or fleximug.

Walkers and canes

You could also get them walkers and canes to help with balance and avoid so many falls

Medication

Though medication is never meant for actual treatment, it helps with curbing the symptoms. Medication such as levodopa among others are great in increasing the dopamine levels. Find the article here https://www.webmd.com/parkinsons-disease/guide/drug-treatments

-Install safety bed rails

-Installed motion sensors in the patient’s room so that caregiver can quickly rush when patient wakes up
