Person-Centered Care For Those With Parkinson’s Disease
Though there is no known cure for Parkinson’s, our philosophy of care focuses on the many reasons for hope. With continuous advancements in treatment options, medications and therapies, we believe the treatment of the disease can be improved at every stage. Parkinson’s care at The Crossings centers around specialized, person-centered care, bringing improved quality of life and a sense of belonging.
Our care team works with families to create a personalized care plan so that families have peace of mind despite the arbitrary nature of the disease. If an individual’s voluntary movements become slower (a symptom called bradykinesia), accompanied by tremors in the face, hands, and limbs, and rigidity in joints and muscles, our skilled, compassionate associates are always here to help with daily needs and provide support. And when life’s challenges are more manageable, residents are free to participate in the many opportunities available at our community – from holistic wellness programming to social events and other on-site activities.
While movement disorders associated with the disease can make everyday tasks frustrating and potentially even unsafe, Parkinson’s care at The Crossings at Riverchase reduces the day-to-day strain of these symptoms. Residents receive 24-hour nursing support, accommodating activities and an accessible environment to help maintain coordination and balance and prevent falls. Additionally, each apartment has a wireless nurse-call system in case of an emergency.
Until there is a cure for Parkinson’s disease, Parkinson’s care at The Crossings at Riverchase brings uplifting encouragement to the everyday and improves residents’ quality of life through the different stages of the disease.
