Parkinson's care at home
With Parkinson's, timing is everything — medication on the minute, movement when the body allows it, and patience when it does not. A caregiver who knows the rhythm of the illness makes a long day easier.
What Parkinson's care involves
- Medication reminders at exact times, every day.
- Help with walking, turning, freezing episodes and fall prevention.
- Time and patience for dressing, eating and speech.
- Keeping up exercise and activity.
- Noticing changes in mood, sleep or swallowing and telling the family.
Questions to ask
- Have you cared for someone with Parkinson's? What were their off periods like?
- What do you do when someone freezes mid-step?
- How do you keep medication on time when the day goes sideways?
How Kalvri helps you find them
Kalvri is an iPhone app, not an agency. You say what the care really looks like, and Kalvri ranks every caregiver whose hours, skills, languages, distance and rate fit, with the reason each one was chosen. Each morning it suggests the one who fits best.
- What you require comes first. Everyone who can cover your hours, your budget and the care you described is ranked ahead of anyone who can't, and somebody who has said no to something you need is never suggested.
- Each caregiver arrives with the reason they were chosen, in plain words. What they told Kalvri is labelled as theirs, because Kalvri verifies nothing.
- When you both say yes, a private conversation opens. Ask for references, ask for a time, and decide for yourself.
- You agree the rate with your caregiver and pay them directly. Kalvri takes no fee and no cut.
