Parkinson’s Home Care Services

Our Services

Since 2004, LifeWorx has served over 2,500 families with compassionate and reliable in-home care services that seniors and their families can depend on. Having provided Parkinson’s home care services throughout New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Florida, we are continuously reminded that each client’s needs are different, each family and support network is different, each living situation is different, and each caregiver is different. Our services have continued to adapt and evolve alongside.

Living with Parkinson’s disease presents unique challenges, but LifeWorx is dedicated to supporting individuals with Parkinson’s disease stay in their home for as long as possible. From managing symptoms like tremors and stiffness to providing emotional reassurance, our goal is to help clients preserve their quality of life.

• Assistance with Mobility and Fall Prevention
  Parkinson’s disease can affect mobility, balance, and coordination, making fall prevention a main priority. Our caregivers provide mobility assistance and implement fall prevention strategies tailored to the home environment. Our caregivers can incorporate physical therapy exercises to help maintain strength, balance, and flexibility.
• Medication Management and Appointment Assistance
  Proper medication management is vital for controlling Parkinson’s symptoms. Our Parkinson’s caregivers can assist with organizing medications and ensuring they are taken as prescribed. Additionally, caregivers provide support with scheduling and attending medical appointments, making the process stress free for clients and their families.
• Emotional Support and Cognitive Engagement
  Beyond physical assistance, our caregivers provide compassionate companionship, fostering emotional well-being through meaningful conversations and activities that stimulate cognitive function.

• Daily Living Activities (ADLs) & Household Management
  Our caregivers assist with daily living activities such as meal preparation, mobility support, and toileting. They also help take care of household tasks like cleaning, laundry, and organizing to maintain a safe, comfortable home environment.
• Specialized Memory Care for Cognitive Decline
  Cognitive challenges, including memory loss and dementia, are common in later stages of Parkinson’s. Our caregivers can employ specialized memory care techniques, offering structured routines and a supportive environment to ensure safety and comfort.

Private Duty Nursing for Parkinson’s Clients

By bringing professional medical care into the home, we help clients avoid hospital visits and remain in a familiar, comforting environment. Our private duty nursing services provide advanced medical care for individuals with complex health needs, allowing them to receive high-quality treatment in the comfort of their homes. Our nursing team is led by our highly qualified Director of Patient Services, Dwiann Morgan, who is licensed and oversees the Directors of Nursing in each state where we operate.

Our nurses are experienced professionals who bring compassion and expertise to every client. Some of the care they can assist with includes:

• Medication administration and IV management
• Wound care and post-operative recovery
• G-tube feeding and chronic condition monitoring
• Coordination with physicians and specialists

Whether your loved one requires temporary nursing care following a hospital discharge or simply prefers the peace of mind that a more extensively trained professional can provide, private duty nursing offers a flexible, personalized solution for your needs.

Dementia Care 

Memory loss comes with unique challenges, and our caregivers emphasize respect, patience, and understanding in even the most challenging moments. Our caregivers are experienced in assisting individuals living with dementia, and are equipped to navigate the changes in memory, personality, and behavior that come with it.

From helping maintain daily routines to providing reminders for medications, our caregivers help keep your loved one calm and comfortable. They offer support with tasks around the home, creating a secure environment, and engaging in activities that are meaningful and mentally stimulating to your loved one. 

We offer families helpful tips and information to better understand dementia care, including how to create a supportive and safe home environment and communicate effectively with loved ones. We can also connect you with resources that will help make home modifications that enhance safety, as well as support groups for any family that may be struggling with watching their loved ones change over time.

How it Works

Discuss your Parkinson’s care needs

Documenting medical needs is the easy part. Where the work comes in is understanding your loved one’s personality, their triggers and limitations, any barriers to potentially accepting care for the first time, and the little things we can add to their lives by way of a caregiver that will put a smile on their face.

Meet our caregivers 

You’ll meet several fully vetted caregivers, each with a summary of their skills and experience, activities they enjoy engaging in with clients, personality traits, background and interests, quotes from their reference transcripts, and a photo from their in-person interview. From there, you can interview either in-person or over the phone or video call or simply decide based on their profile.

Services begin

We do our best to keep things simple and find the perfect match for your loved one on our first time around and are encouraged by how often this happens. However, if things are not quite clicking, our client managers will take your feedback and go back to the drawing board for a more fitting solution. Above and beyond is the expectation, not the exception, with peace of mind as the ultimate outcome.

Professional Parkinson’s Caregivers

Our caregivers have experience using strategies for managing motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and freezing episodes, as well as non-motor challenges like depression or cognitive changes. Collaboration is key to our approach and our caregivers work in coordination with other disciplines, such as physical therapists, neurologists, and family doctors, to create a cohesive care experience.

Our dedicated team of Candidate Managers are responsible for proactively vetting new caregivers to ensure we always have the best fit available for your current and future needs. Running a background check and verifying certifications is the easy part. Where our team adds value is the time spent by Reference Managers speaking with two or more local families that each applicant worked for long-term, assessing each reference for caliber, skills, validity, enthusiasm, and accuracy.

Once past the reference stage, every caregiver comes in for an in-person interview where our Candidate Managers carefully observe their personality, communication skills, punctuality, focus, flexibility, and demeanor. Ultimately, the process ends by asking the most important question of all – “Is this someone I would trust in my own home to take care of my own family?” We accept only 5% of caregiver applicants, using a meticulous selection process, and enforce a one-strike policy to maintain our high standards. 

With our rigorous vetting process and careful matching, you can be confident that our caregivers are not only highly qualified but also compassionate, reliable, and dedicated to enhancing your loved one’s quality of life.

Our Values

Trust

Our industry-leading vetting process ensures you never have to worry about who is coming into your home. Where other agencies may put restrictions on the level of communication you have with the caregivers, we trust that each person involved has the client’s best interests at heart and will always act accordingly.  

Superior Service

What sets LifeWorx apart is our dedication to a superior experience at every touch point. You won’t be shuffled between departments. When you call, your point of contact will handle your needs directly and collaborate internally to ensure an efficient and thorough solution.   

Relationships

We understand how tough it can be to juggle caregiving responsibilities while simply wanting to cherish time with your loved one. Our Client Managers work closely with families to ensure a smooth transition to trusted caregivers, handling the logistics and coordination with care and expertise. Meanwhile, our caregivers go beyond providing support—they build meaningful connections through thoughtful conversations, shared activities, and genuine companionship, bringing comfort and joy to your loved one’s daily life.
