the Parkinson's Carer's Companion: Complete UK Guide for Families: From Diagnosis to Advanced Stages

When someone you love has Parkinson's, you become their carer too. Parkinson's changes family life gradually, over months and years, bringing medication to manage on time, symptoms you may not expect, and a maze of benefits, care and legal decisions, often with far less support than you need. The Parkinson's Carer's Companion is a calm, practical guide for the families and friends who step in to care. Written in plain English for readers across the UK, it walks you through the whole journey, from the uncertain days around diagnosis to life over the longer term. Inside you'll find clear, up-to-date guidance on: - Understanding Parkinson's, the diagnosis and the medical team - Managing medication, and why getting it on time matters so much - The movement symptoms, the symptoms you might not expect, and daily life at home - Making the home safe and preventing falls - Power of Attorney, the benefits you may be missing, and paying for care - NHS Continuing Healthcare and the care system explained >Honest, reassuring and easy to dip into, with current 2026/27 figures and guidance for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, it is the companion to keep close from the very first days onward.
