At BrightStar Care, we’re here to support individuals and families living with Parkinson’s, providing compassionate, expert in-home care that helps maintain independence, dignity, and quality of life.
What Is Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that primarily affects movement. It develops gradually, often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in one hand. Over time, symptoms may include stiffness, slowed movement, speech changes, and balance difficulties.
There is currently no cure for Parkinson’s, but early intervention, medical treatment, physical therapy, and consistent care can significantly improve quality of life.
