Find Person-Centered Care and An Engaging Lifestyle
While Parkinson’s disease presents differently in each person affected, there are often similarities observed in individuals with the disease – and our expert Parkinson’s care is here to help. Frequently, voluntary movements become slower (a symptom called bradykinesia), accompanied by tremors in the limbs, face and hands, as well as rigidity in joints and muscles, making simple everyday tasks frustrating and potentially even unsafe. Parkinson’s care at Highpoint eases the day-to-day strain of symptoms by providing 24-hour nursing support, accessible activities and a safe environment to help individuals maintain coordination, balance and prevent falls.
Our compassionate, skilled care team works with families to create a personalized care plan that helps manage the unpredictable nature of the disease and assists residents with daily needs, including bathing, dressing, meal preparation and transportation to the doctor. In addition, each residence is equipped with a wireless nurse call system in case of an emergency.
As we help take care of life’s daily challenges, your loved one can focus on opportunities to engage and connect through our holistic wellness programming, social events and recreational activities – as well as programs and therapies tailored to the neurological challenges your loved one may be experiencing. With Parkinson’s care at Highpoint at Cape Coral, your loved one is surrounded by positivity and encouragement while living in a supportive community created for greater quality of life through different stages of the disease.
