Published: 27/07/2023
Right at Home Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern has become a proud Silver Sponsor with the Chilterns Neuro Centre We are excited to be supporting the invaluable work that the centre does, treating over 600 members who need life-long support for neuro conditions including MS, Parkinson’s and Strokes. Support includes both practical, social and emotional help for members and their carers from expert healthcare professionals. Physiotherapy, Hydrotherapy and Occupational Therapy are offered as well as Pilates, Acupuncture Yoga and range of counselling and complementary Therapy.
We care for a number of Clients in the Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern community living with neuro conditions, supporting them directly as well as providing much-needed respite care for their main carer, often their life-long partner.
Howard and his wife Eli live in Thame. Howard has had Parkinson’s for 11 years and Right at Home has recently started to support him each day at home. This has given much needed respite for Eli who remains his main carer at home.
Ellie | Client wife"The CareGivers from Right at Home Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern have been a fantastic help for both Howard and myself as we continue our journey with Parkinson’s. I realise that with the extra support from the CareGivers, I have the strength and resilience to continue to care for Howard in the place that he wants to be, at home. Their kindness and compassion to us both have made a real difference, and I would recommend a quality homecare service such as Right at Home Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern to anyone needing respite homecare services."
The Five Stages of Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s is a degenerative condition, which becomes increasingly life-limiting over time. Early signs of the disease can be easily ignored if you do not know what they are:
Stage One – three key early symptoms of Parkinson’s are shaking, slow movement and stiff, inflexible muscles. These occur on one side of the body only.
Stage Two – symptoms worsen and start to affect both sides of the body. It may be difficult to walk and sit or stand up straight.
Stage Three – loss of balance may result in falls. Slowness of movement affects everyday activities such as eating and getting dressed.
Stage Four – symptoms are severe and affect ability to walk unaided. It is no longer possible to live alone independently.
Stage Five – extreme stiffness in the legs means that the person can no longer stand or walk and requires a wheelchair or is bedridden. Hallucinations and delusions may accompany the motor symptoms. This stage of Parkinson’s requires Live-in or 24-hour care.
After Stroke Care in Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern
- Caring for someone who has had a stroke requires patience, time and support. It is important to establish a daily routine to help the person rebuild their physical strength and confidence. Looking further ahead, changing habits to move towards a healthier lifestyle will help prevent another stroke in the future.
- Our specialist Stroke CareGivers at Right at Home Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern can support patients to rehabilitate by preparing healthy meals, supporting them with physiotherapy exercises and accompanying them on walks to build muscle strength and gain confidence outside the home.
- Stroke patients may suffer from depression and anxiety in the aftermath of their trauma. A Caregiver can do a huge amount to rebuild confidence and self-esteem by working closely with the patient and developing a supportive relationship built on trust and compassion.
- We also provide Post Stroke Care at home for those returning from Hospitals, assessing care needs in a home setting, supporting with Physiotherapy and reducing the risk of repeat injuries.
