April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, spotlighting a condition affecting over 10 million people globally, including nearly 1 million in the U.S., with roughly 60,000 new cases annually, per the Parkinson’s Foundation. For long-term care facility leaders and caregivers, this is a familiar reality, many residents, including ALC Home Health & Hospice clients, live with Parkinson’s, facing tremors, rigidity, and balance challenges that demand more than routine support. We believe in-home skilled nursing can enhance care within your facilities, delivering clinical expertise that benefits residents and supports your teams.
Skilled Nursing: Precision Care for Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s requires more than standard assistance, it calls for specialized medical oversight. ALC’s in-home skilled nursing integrates seamlessly into long-term care settings, offering services like medication management, symptom monitoring, and physician coordination. For residents, this could mean targeted support for mobility exercises, wound care after falls, or managing swallowing issues, all delivered by nurses and therapists trained to address Parkinson’s complexities. This elevates resident care while aligning with your facility’s commitment to quality outcomes.
Supporting Caregivers and Leadership
Caregivers in long-term care facilities often stretch themselves thin managing Parkinson’s demands. Skilled nursing eases that strain, providing expert intervention so your staff can focus on broader resident needs. For leadership, partnering with ALC means fewer care gaps, reduced family concerns, and enhanced resident stability, freeing you to prioritize operational goals. Our nurses also offer education on Parkinson’s progression, empowering your team with knowledge and confidence.
Awareness Meets Action
This April, as we highlight Parkinson’s, we’re also offering a solution for long-term care. Skilled nursing isn’t just clinical, it’s a partnership that preserves resident dignity and strengthens your facility’s care model. At ALC Home Health & Hospice, we’re ready to collaborate with you to support your Parkinson’s residents.
