PR Home Care provides Parkinson’s companion support in Raleigh for individuals and families who need non-medical help with routines, companionship, respite, and safety observation.
Non-medical companion care, lifestyle support, safety observation, and family respite for individuals living with Parkinson’s and the families who support them.
Parkinson’s can affect more than movement. Over time, it may change routines, confidence, social connection, energy, and the level of support a family needs.
PR Home Care provides Parkinson’s-friendly non-medical companion support for individuals who may not need hands-on personal care, but do need more structure, companionship, routine support, safety observation, and family respite.
Support for the Daily Changes Parkinson’s Can Bring
Parkinson’s disease affects more than 1.1 million people in the U.S., and nearly 90,000 people are newly diagnosed each year, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation.
Symptoms and daily needs can vary. Some people may experience tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, balance concerns, fatigue, changes in energy, or difficulty carrying out daily routines.
PR Home Care does not provide medical treatment, therapy, hands-on transfers, or personal care. Our role is to provide non-medical support that helps individuals and families manage daily routines with more structure, companionship, and communication.
