Empowering Lives: Home Care's Role in Parkinson's Awareness Month

April 4, 2024

April marks Parkinson's Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing understanding and support for individuals living with Parkinson's disease and their families. As a leading home care company, BrightStar Care South Brooklyn/Upper Eastside, serving New York City, recognizes the importance of raising awareness about Parkinson's and the vital role home care plays in supporting those affected by this neurodegenerative disorder.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement and coordination. Symptoms include tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowed movement), and postural instability. While there is currently no cure for Parkinson's, early detection, comprehensive care, and support services can greatly improve quality of life for individuals living with the condition.
