Supporting Independence with Parkinson's Disease
Each year around 18,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with Parkinson's. With the right plan and collaborative care, it's possible to maintain — and sometimes regain — independence and quality of life.
At Kingsway Care, we understand the complexities of Parkinson's Disease. Our experience shows that a relationship-based, specialist approach makes a profound difference — helping clients live fully, independently, and confidently at home.
"I have Parkinson's Disease and have been supported by Kingsway Care for the past two years. They've been there for me through some very difficult times. I now have support getting up and dressed in the mornings, and someone checks in on me every evening. The carers are wonderful — they look after me so well. Thanks to them, I'm able to enjoy a reasonably independent life in the comfort of my own home."

A Client's Parkinson's Journey
Regaining Independence: A Client's Parkinson's Journey
Our client was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 60. For several years he managed well with minimal symptoms — but by 2023, personal care became more difficult and his confidence to leave the house started to fade.
A key insight: Parkinson's medication is highly time-sensitive, and even a small delay can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Our CareGivers administered his tablets promptly and communicated any changes directly to his clinical team. The results were transformative — his symptoms eased and his confidence improved.
After just five months, he felt so much stronger that he paused professional care entirely — for nine months he managed independently. When his symptoms advanced again, we stepped straight back in. That's what a relationship-based approach looks like.
