Living Well at Home With Parkinson's: a free guide for Northern Kentucky families

Many people with Parkinson’s disease can keep living at home for a long time when the household plans ahead for medication timing, fall risk, and the daily tasks that slowly get harder. Our free guide, Living Well at Home With Parkinson’s: A Northern Kentucky Family Guide to Daily Support, Safety, and In-Home Care, walks families in Fort Thomas and across Campbell, Kenton, and Boone counties through what to expect and what helps. Connecting Hearts Home Care provides non-medical in-home support, such as personal care, companionship, and medication reminders. The medical side of Parkinson’s stays with your loved one’s doctors.

Help close to home

Connecting Hearts Home Care is a family-owned agency based in Fort Thomas that has provided non-medical in-home care for 23 years. We serve Fort Thomas, Alexandria, Cold Spring, Erlanger, Florence, Fort Mitchell, Fort Wright, Union, Villa Hills, and Wilder. Care can start with a few hours a week and grow as needs change, up to 24-hour home care.

Why it matters

Parkinson’s affects movement, balance, sleep, mood, and the time it takes to do ordinary things. Symptoms can change through the day as medication works and wears off, which means your parent may look fine at 10 a.m. and need real help by 4 p.m. Falls are a common concern. The Parkinson’s Foundation reports that around 60% of people with Parkinson’s fall each year.

Most of what makes life at home safer is practical: better timing, a safer bathroom, a clearer path to the bedroom, and support during the hours that are hardest. This guide puts that information in one place, with checklists and worksheets you can print and use.
