Hello, especially UK physios, but other countries please reply if you have
any examples of good management,
I wonder if there are any specialist units anywhere that deal particularly
with the problems faced by young (40s & 50s age group) Parkinsons patients ?
Problems for example being that regular medication and fluid intake is
crucial, but compliance can be variable - the patient maybe independent at
times and totally dependant at other times and home care services may
struggle to meet such variable demands. Home alone is problematic,
traditional nursing home or residential care is inappropriate because of age
and revolving hospital doors and community team to deal with recurring
crises gets too much after a while.
Any experiences / solutions gratefully received
