services/Chronic neurological conditions

Chronic neurological conditions

Care for Parkinson's, stroke recovery, MS, ALS and other progressive conditions with caregivers trained in the transfers, cueing and patience these diagnoses actually require.

No cost, no obligation. Care can usually start within 48 hours.

(not-medical care, we don't provide nursing or therapy. A care team member reviews every care plan and will coordinate skilled care when appropriate).

Why it matters

Progressive means the plan has to keep moving

01

Technique prevents injuries - both people's

A transfer done wrong hurts your parent and the person lifting. Ours are practiced on a150-pound manikin before they are ever done on a person.

02

Good days and bad days aren't a scheduling problem

Fatigue and mobility swing hour to hour with these conditions. A caregiver who knows the diagnosis adjusts mid-shift instead of pushing through.

03

Small changes are early warnings

A new hesitation in swallowing or a change in gait matters. Caregivers log what they see and a care manager gets it to the family and the clinician.

Is this the right service?

Signs it's time

If two or more of these sound familiar, it's worth a conversation. The free assessmentincludes a home safety and fall-risk walkthrough.

  • Transfers have become too much for one family member
  • There has been a fall, or a near miss that scared everyone
  • Freezing, weakness or fatigue makes the mornings unmanageable
  • Medications are on a schedule too tight to keep up with
  • Meals take much longer, or swallowing has changed
