Living Well with Parkinson's at Home
We have many Clients who are living with Parkinson’s, and with the right care you can live a safe, rich and fulfilling life.
We are aware that having Parkinson’s disease can be challenging for both the Client and their family. It can be demanding both physically and emotionally but we are there to help.
We are a family owned and managed Home Care service and we know the importance of a personal, family friendly approach. We will consult with you about your needs - your fears and your hopes, and we will develop a Care Plan to keep you engaged positively with the activities you enjoy, and with the people you love.
Locations We Cover
We provide in-home Parkinson's care across the Northern Rivers, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Mid North Coast, Tweed Heads, and Coolangatta regions.
Our Support Workers are local, consistent, and familiar - which matters enormously for someone living with Parkinson's, where routine and trust are so important.
Is A Nursing Home Necessary For Parkinson's?
It's one of the first questions families ask - do we need to look at a nursing home? In many cases, the answer is no, at least not yet.
With the right in-home support, many people living with Parkinson's are able to remain safely at home for much longer than they or their families expected.
Home care allows your loved one to stay in familiar surroundings, maintain their routines, and keep the independence that matters so much to their well-being.
Professional home care also adapts as the condition progresses. What starts as a few hours of support per week can grow into a more comprehensive care arrangement - without the disruption of moving into residential care before it's truly needed.
If you're unsure whether home care is the right fit for your situation, call us. We'll give you an honest answer.

Allied Health and Therapy Support
For people living with Parkinson's, allied health therapies are not extras - they're central to maintaining quality of life. As part of your Care Plan, we can arrange:
- Physiotherapy - to help with movement, balance, and reducing the risk of falls
- Occupational Therapy - to assess the home environment and recommend modifications or aids that keep daily life safer and more manageable
- Speech Therapy - Parkinson's can affect speech and swallowing; a speech therapist can help manage these symptoms
These allied health services can be coordinated through your Support at Home funding or privately. Our Care Managers can help you navigate what's covered.
Respite Care
Caring for someone with Parkinson's is a long-term commitment, and family carers need rest too.
We offer respite care - short-term, flexible support that gives you time to recharge while your loved one continues to receive consistent, familiar care at home.
Whether you need a few hours a week or a longer break, we can arrange it.
