April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month — and a reminder that care isn’t just clinical… it’s personal.
Over 1 million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson’s disease — facing challenges with movement, speech, balance, and thinking. As needs evolve, so does the importance of smooth care transitions — from hospital to rehab, assisted living, and back home.
At Aveon Services, we believe home is where dignity lives. It’s where compassionate, coordinated care can truly make a difference.
Here are 5 simple but powerful tips to support someone with Parkinson’s at home:
1. Simplify the Space – Remove clutter, add grab bars, and keep areas well-lit to help prevent falls.
2. Stick to a Routine – Keeping a consistent schedule helps with medication, meals, and peace of mind.
3. Be Patient – Parkinson’s affects speech. Allow time, listen closely, and speak calmly.
4. Use Helpful Tools – Things like weighted utensils and non-slip shoes support independence.
5. Focus on Connection – Mental and emotional health matter. Encourage conversation and social interaction.
Let’s come together this month to support the Parkinson’s community.
We want to hear from you:
• What’s one tip or tool that’s helped you or a loved one manage Parkinson’s?
• What do you wish more people understood about Parkinson’s at home?
• Tag someone who’s doing amazing work in caregiving or support!
Together, we grow stronger. Together, Aveon Cares.
