Care Partner Tips

Supporting Someone with Parkinson's

Living with Parkinson's affects both the individual and the people who support them.

Care partners play an important role by encouraging movement, supporting healthy routines, and helping create an environment where independence can thrive.

Helpful Ways to Support

Care partners can help by:

Encouraging regular exercise
Allowing extra time for movement
Supporting safe mobility without taking over unnecessarily
Learning cueing strategies for freezing of gait
Attending appointments when appropriate
Helping maintain healthy daily routines

Don't Forget Yourself

Providing care can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding.

Looking after your own physical and emotional well-being allows you to continue supporting your loved one while maintaining your own health.

You're Part of the Team

At PVI, we view care partners as valuable members of the rehabilitation team.

By providing education, practical strategies, and ongoing support, we aim to help both people living with Parkinson's and their care partners feel informed, confident, and empowered throughout the journey.
