But even with live-in care , you still need to know about the things that you can do for the elderly who have Parkinson’s. These are some of the information and things you can do for your loved one.
Parkinson’s Disease is a condition that affects the brain and nervous system. It can cause shaking, rigid muscles, difficulty walking or moving, slow movements, and more. The elderly are most susceptible to Parkinson's as it generally develops when people reach their 60s. Parkinson's disease is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects one in 100 people. And, when your loved one has an illness, it isn’t something that will go away. And, there will come a time that they will need 24/7 live-in care .
It’s important to know how to properly care at home for these patients. This is to make life easier for them and you. Here are some tips for caring for someone with Parkinson's:
Parkinson’s disease is a disease that your parents might start struggling with. And, even if you can assist them with their day-to-day care, there is some specialized care that you can’t do yourself.

You can expect parkinsons live in care at home to start from £1,200 a week. That is one fixed weekly fee covering everything in the agreed care plan, rather than an hourly rate that rises as needs grow. For couples, one carer can support two people under a single fee. See our pricing page for the full breakdown, or use the cost calculator for an estimate based on your own situation.
How quickly can care start?
In most cases we can have a carer in place within a week. For urgent situations — a hospital discharge, a fall, or a family carer suddenly unable to continue — we can often arrange cover within 24 to 48 hours.
Who will the carer be, and do we get a choice?
You choose. We send profiles of matched, available carers and you decide, including a video call beforehand if you would like one. It is the same carer each day rather than a rota, so they learn the routine and notice small changes early. Every carer is enhanced DBS checked, referenced and interviewed in person before we introduce them.
What does the carer actually do day to day?
Personal care, medication prompting and administration, meal preparation, light housework, laundry, shopping, appointments and companionship — all shaped around the agreed care plan. The aim is that daily life continues as normally as possible, in familiar surroundings.
Is this better than moving into a care home?
It depends on the person, and we will say so honestly if a care home is the better answer. What live-in care offers is one-to-one attention rather than shared staffing, no upheaval from a familiar home, pets and routines kept, and visitors whenever you like. For couples it is usually far better value than two residential placements.
Can we get help paying for it?
Often, yes. Depending on circumstances and where you live, support may come through a local authority assessment, NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance or a personal budget. Our funding guide explains what to apply for and in what order, and our care managers will talk it through without obligation.
Where we work
Parkinson's Care across the UK, Scotland & Ireland
We arrange care in 800+ towns and cities. Choose your area for local pricing, funding and how care is regulated where you live.
- Carers travel to you — they move into the home rather than driving from a local branch, so rural and coastal areas are covered too.
- The same weekly price everywhere — care is priced on the support needed, never on your postcode.
- Care can start in 24–48 hours in most areas, and often the same day after a hospital discharge.
