Parkinson's Care at Home

Parkinson’s Care at Home

, ,

Los Angeles | Orange County | San Diego | Bay Area

Parkinson’s disease is a serious neurodegenerative disorder that can cause severe disruption in your everyday life. Particularly during late-stage Parkinson’s, many people will begin to struggle with their activities of daily living – including bathing, cooking, and even having meaningful social interactions. With Parkinson’s care at home with Kinkaid Private Care, our select clientele can receive both supportive caregiving to improve quality of life as well as in-home medical treatment to minimize symptoms and potentially slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

Understanding Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is caused by degeneration of nerve cells within a specific area of the brain known as the substantia nigra. These cells are responsible for the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which plays several roles in everyday functioning – including movement and motivation. While the exact cause is unknown, people with Parkinson’s lose these dopamine producing cells at an accelerated rate. Research suggests that the symptoms of Parkinson’s begin to appear when the number of these cells drops to 50%  of age-matched controls – and people with Parkinson’s will continue to lose these cells indefinitely.

While the significant majority of people with Parkinson’s are over the age of 55, the disease can affect people as early as their 30s. There is no known cure for Parkinson’s disease, but there are several treatments and therapies that can improve symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, and significantly improve quality of life.

Over half a million people in the United States have a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, though scientists believe the actual number may be as much as one million. And while the effects of Parkinson’s are most severe for the person with the disease, countless family members, spouses, children, and loved ones are affected by the disease as well.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

The most visible symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are physical, and this is typically how the disease is first identified. The physical symptoms of Parkinson’s disease include:

  • Tremors in the hands, legs, arms, or jaw
  • A forward leaning posture
  • Difficulty walking or balancing
  • Stiff or rigid muscles
  • Progressive loss of automatic movements, such as blinking or swallowing
  • Slowed reaction time

These physical symptoms can severely impact a person’s ability to carry on with their daily routines. While the impact may be minimal during the early stages of Parkinson’s, in time people will lose their ability to drive safely, to cook for themselves, or to practice personal hygiene. Parkinson’s disease can also increase the likelihood of falls, which can lead to severe medical complications in older patients.

In addition to the physical effects of Parkinson’s, many patients will experience debilitating mental health symptoms as well. Common mental health challenges for people with Parkinson’s include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Hallucinations
  • Memory problems
  • Dementia

The cause of mental health challenges in people with Parkinson’s is twofold. On the one hand, the loss of dopamine producing neurons can play a direct role in the development of any of these symptoms. On the other, many people who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s will begin to feel symptoms of anxiety or depression due to the dramatic change in life circumstances.

However these symptoms develop, they can often be just as difficult to manage as the physical symptoms of Parkinson’s. Thankfully, effective treatment methods can reduce both physical and psychological symptoms – and with Kinkaid Private Care, you can receive these treatments from the comfort of your home.

How Home Parkinson’s Care Can Help

Kinkaid Private Care offers concierge in-home medical services to people and families who need support in dealing with the consequences of this serious illness. At Kinkaid, our team offers a whole-person approach to helping people with Parkinson’s maintain and even improve their quality of life, by combining direct medical care with the added support of in-home caregivers.

Kinkaid’s model for home healthcare lets people choose the services they need the most and brings physicians, nurses, and expert caregivers to you.

Types of In-Home Care for Parkinson’s

For many people living with Parkinson’s, making regular trips to the hospital to receive care can be difficult, time consuming, and stressful. This can lead to delaying appointments, skipping routine checkups, or simply not receiving the highest quality of care due to hospital constraints.

In-home Parkinson’s care can alleviate these issues by having a team of medical professionals meet you where you’re already most comfortable: your home. Kinkaid Private Care offers several different kinds of home medical care, depending on what you and your family need the most:

  1. At-Home Doctor Visits: By having a physician come to your home, you can receive accurate diagnoses, new prescriptions as needed, and even many complex medical procedures such as EKGs, blood draws, or X-rays. Home doctor visits can also restore the personal connection that many people feel is lost in hospital settings, where physicians are juggling several patients and running a tight schedule.
  2. In-Home Nursing Care: Kinkaid Private Care’s team of registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and nurse practitioners can address a wide range of health needs for people with Parkinson’s disease. This can include routine injections, wound care, medication management, and much more.
  3. In-Home Caregivers: For people who are beginning to have difficulty keeping up with their everyday tasks and routines due to Parkinson’s, an in-home caregiver can make a dramatic difference in day-to-day quality of life. In-home caregivers can help with routine tasks such as cooking, personal hygiene, medication reminders, and even transportation. Further, an in-home caregiver can serve as a much-needed source of social support and companionship, which can make a significant difference in everyday life.

The Kinkaid Private Care Difference

Kinkaid Private Care was founded on the belief that there is a significant gap in medicine between hospital and home. By providing the highest quality of medical and mental health services to a select few clients, our team can bridge that gap and create better long-term outcomes for our patients.

transition of care from hospital to home

Top Strategies for Transition of Care from Hospital to Home

Effective transition of care from hospital to home is a vital element for ensuring that patients receive the support they need to maintain their health. This can often be a challenging process, with several potential hazards that can lead to negative outcomes if not handled appropriately.

What is Patient Transition of Care?

Patient transition of care is the process of transferring between one healthcare setting to another, or from a hospital to home. Ideally, this is a transition from hospital to home care, where patients can continue receiving the treatment and support they need to stave off future illness or injury.

While patients typically aren’t discharged from a hospital setting without being considered stable, the transition period is still a time of concern. Approximately 1 in 5 patients experience adverse events after hospital discharge, including:

  • Worsening of their condition
  • Adverse drug effects
  • New complications
  • Readmission to the hospital due to lack of support at home

Having a firm plan in place and being prepared to offer extra assistance at home during this period, can dramatically reduce the likelihood of hospital readmission.

How Does Transition of Care Work?

Discharge planning from hospital to home occurs while patients are still in the hospital. Your treatment providers will walk you through what steps need to be taken to ensure you stay safe and healthy during this period, which could include medication plans, rehabilitation exercises, or certain precautions that need to be taken when back at home.

Yet after patients are discharged from the hospital, they are often on their own in terms of managing their health. They may be given instructional paperwork and medications, but it’s up to them and their families to ensure all the necessary steps are taken.

Why Proper Transition of Care Is Important

A smooth transition of care is essential to preventing unnecessary readmission to the hospital. Done well, a transition of care from hospital to home promotes recovery, independence, and health. Yet a poor transition of care from hospital to home puts patients at increased risk of their illness getting progressively worse, rather than better.

At Kinkaid Private Care, we believe there is a significant treatment gap during this transition. Many people need continued professional support after a hospital discharge to keep their recovery on track and prevent future medical expenses or complications.  As such, we have designed a comprehensive home health care model to provide people with the exact support they need after hospital discharge.

Strategies for Ensuring a Safe and Productive Transition of Care

A few simple strategies can ensure that you or your family members transition of care from hospital to home goes off without a hitch, and inspires future healing and recovery:

Involve Family in the Planning Process

Getting family members involved in the discharge planning from hospital to home can help to make sure that the medical condition and treatment plan is understood and feasible. Patients in a hospital setting are often overwhelmed and may not have the ability to mange the planning process by themselves.

Get Any Necessary Equipment

Your discharge plan from the hospital may have several recommendations, prescriptions, and treatment plans that may require specialized equipment. For example, people recovering from an injury may need resistance bands or training equipment to facilitate their at-home physical therapy, or people suffering form respiratory disease may need oxygen tanks or breathing apparatuses.

Keep Up with Follow-Up Visits

Making sure to attend follow-up appointments and primary care visits can help patients to track and monitor their condition over time. Too often, people return home and get complacent about their health status, which can set them up for future hospital readmission that could have been avoided.

Start Professional Home Care

Professional home care services can help you stay on top of the entire transition process. A transition from hospital to home care is often much more conducive to recovery, as you have a trained medical provider within the house to help with the next steps of the treatment process.

Home Care with Kinkaid Private Care

organizing nursing care

What To Look For In A Nurse Case Management Team

When coordinating in-home nursing care, finding a qualified and effective case management team is crucial. After all, the top priority of any home care treatment is making sure everything is taken care of and that your loved one is in the best hands possible.

The only way to ensure everything is done effectively is to make sure you have a case management team that is organized, experienced, informed, and ultimately knows how to get the job done in the best way possible. While seeking nurse case management, look for a team with the following four characteristics:

  1. In-Home Nursing Care Experts: Try to find a team that focuses specifically on in-home nursing care. It’s usually best to hire a group of people who have a niche market they serve, as they must be dedicated experts in that specific field in order to succeed.
  2. Excellent Communication: When organizing care for your loved one, there is little room for error, as you want your loved one to receive the best care possible. Miscommunications are one of the most common causes of mistakes, so be sure to hire a team with exceptional communication skills. Moreover, teams with good communication skills will be able to effectively educate you and your family on your loved one’s condition.
  3. Superior Organizational Skills: In-home nursing care is complicated and requires a team to be organized and keep track of every detail. A lack of organizational skills could lead to the wrong medication administered or other disastrous outcomes.
  4. Well-Connected in the Medical Community: Part of receiving the best in-home nursing care is having access to the best doctors when necessary. While seeking a nurse case management team, you want to find professionals who are well-connected and can refer your loved one to the best doctors available.

receiving a blood draw at home

Get Your Blood Drawn From Home

Getting your blood drawn has been a staple of annual physicals for years. And it has generally been assumed that you have to get this procedure done at the doctor’s office or hospital. However, at-home blood draws have become more popular, as it is just as easy and more efficient to get your blood drawn from the comfort of your home.

This article discusses how an at-home blood draw works, the benefits of receiving a blood draw at home, and how you can schedule one for yourself.

How Does An At-Home Blood Draw Work?

Receiving a blood draw at home is easy. Instead of going to the doctor, a nurse comes to your home and takes a sample of your blood. You then receive the results a couple days later just as if the blood were drawn at the doctor. It’s as simple as that.

Benefits of An At-Home Blood Draw:

Receiving a blood draw at home as opposed to going to the doctor’s office or hospital has numerous benefits, including:

  • Comfort: Many people feel uncomfortable going to the doctor’s office or hospital and prefer staying at home. At-home blood draws guarantee you the comfort of your own home.
  • No Travel Risk: Individuals who may have various handicaps or who are older may have trouble traveling, and even a trip to the doctor’s office can be a struggle. At-home blood draws allow those who do not want to travel the opportunity to receive the same health benefits from home.
  • Avoid Germs: Doctor’s offices and hospitals are full of germs that can have serious effects on older individuals and those with compromised immune systems. It may be best to eliminate this risk by receiving blood work from home.

EKG machine

What Is An EKG And Why Do I Need One?

An electrocardiogram, also called an EKG or ECG, is a simple and non-invasive test that helps doctors better understand a patient’s heart health and diagnose heart-related problems if need be. The test records the electrical signals in the heart and displays the results on a screen.

Most EKGs are conducted over a period of a few minutes, but if a doctor would like to monitor your health over the course of a few days or weeks, he or she may give you a mobile EKG to wear throughout the day for an extended period of time.

Why Get An EKG?

According to the Mayo Clinic, doctors may order EKGs for their patients for a number of reasons, including:

  • Monitoring Heart Health: If you have a history of heart disease or heart attacks, or if the doctor suspects an abnormal heart rhythm, he or she may order an EKG just to be safe.
  • Assessing the Effectiveness of a Pacemaker: If you have a pacemaker, an EKG can help determine whether it is doing its job.
  • Finding the Cause of Various Symptoms: If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, your doctor may order an EKG to try to diagnose the problem:
    • Chest pain
    • Shortness of breath
    • Dizziness or light-headedness
    • Sense of confusion
    • Weakness or general fatigue
    • Heart palpitations
    • Rapid pulse

Where To Get An EKG:

Because most EKGs are administered at hospitals and doctor’s offices, most people assume that you must receive an EKG at a facility. However, you can receive an EKG from the comfort of your home just as easily and effectively. In fact, getting an EKG at home reduces the stress of having to go to the doctor’s office or hospital, while it also reduces the risk of exposing yourself to germs at these facilities.

At-home care providers can set up EKGs for patients at home. And because the test is non-invasive and only takes a few minutes, receiving it at home makes sense for many people. See below for how you can receive an EKG at home.

normal chest x-ray

What Does A Normal Chest X-Ray Look Like?

Chest x-rays are common and can be used to give doctors a better idea of a patient’s condition for a number of diseases or problems associated with the upper body. If your doctor has recommended a chest x-ray, you may be asking the following questions, which we discuss in this article:

  • Why do I need a chest x-ray?
  • What does a normal chest x-ray look like?
  • Where should I get a chest x-ray?

Why Do I Need A Chest X-Ray?

Chest x-rays reveal a number of things for doctors in and around your chest, so they are important for diagnosing and treating a variety of symptoms and diseases. According to the Mayo Clinic, the following are a few examples of what chest x-rays can be used to detect:

  • Cancer associated with the lungs and surrounding areas
  • Heart problems associated with the lungs
  • Pneumonia
  • Changes in the size and shape of the heart
  • Rib or spine fractures

What Does A Normal Chest X-Ray Look Like?

Everyone’s chest x-ray will look slightly different because no two people are exactly alike. Because of this, identifying a “normal” chest x-ray is difficult. That being said, the following is an example of a chest x-ray that would be considered “normal”:

In contrast, the following is an example of a chest x-ray for a patient with pneumonia:

Where Should I Get a Chest X-Ray?

While most people assume that the doctor’s office or hospital is the best place to get an x-ray, you can actually receive a chest x-ray at home and avoid the hassle of going to the doctor and the risk of exposing your already compromised immune system.

At-home care providers can coordinate chest x-rays from the comfort of your own home, and doing so is easy. See below how you can receive an at-home chest x-ray at your convenience.

chest x-ray for pneumonia

Getting A Chest X-Ray For Pneumonia

If you are showing symptoms of pneumonia, your doctor may tell you to get a chest x-ray to see if you in fact have the disease. You may be wondering what this means, how this will help, and/or where you should get an x-ray, so this article aims to answer some of the questions you may have. Specifically, we will discuss what pneumonia is and how a chest x-ray helps diagnose it. We will then discuss the best and most comfortable way to receive a chest x-ray.

What is Pneumonia?

According to the Mayo Clinic, pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in your lungs. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and often accompanies other diseases you may have.

The severity of the disease can vary from person to person, but the most severe cases are usually found in people in the “at-risk” category: Those over the age of 65 or with weakened immune systems, as well as young children and infants.

Symptoms of the disease vary depending on its severity, with mild cases feeling similar to having a bad cold or flu. The following are examples of symptoms you may feel with pneumonia:

  • Chest pain when you breathe or cough
  • Wet cough
  • Fatigue
  • Fever and chills
  • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • Shortness of breath

In addition to the symptoms above, adults over 65 may also experience confusion or changes in mental awareness, along with abnormally low body temperatures.

Why Get A Chest X-Ray For Pneumonia?

Because pneumonia is an infection that inflames your lungs, doctors must be able to see your lungs to accurately diagnose it. And the best way for a doctor to do this is with a chest x-ray. The x-ray shows all of a patient’s chest, so doctors can easily see the lungs to see if there is an infection.

The following is an example of what a chest x-ray for a pneumonia patient looks like:

Where To Get A Chest X-Ray:

While most people assume that the doctor’s office or hospital is the best place to get an x-ray, you can actually receive a chest x-ray at home and avoid the hassle of going to the doctor and the risk of exposing your already compromised immune system.

At-home care providers can coordinate chest x-rays from the comfort of your own home, and doing so is easy. See below how you can receive an at-home chest x-ray at your convenience.

at home doctor with patient

How Can I Get An At Home Doctor Visit?

Receiving medical care from a physician is crucial for maintaining your health, but going to the doctor’s office can be a hassle. The best way to receive the same quality care without the stress of going to the doctor is to receive this care from the comfort of your home.

At-home doctor visits are becoming more popular and make sense for people who may be uncomfortable going to the doctor. This article discusses the benefits of receiving at-home medical care, as well as how you can schedule an at-home doctor’s visit for yourself or your loved one.

Benefits of An At-Home Doctor:

In addition to receiving care from the comfort of your own home, there are other benefits of at-home doctor visits, including the following:

  • Avoid The Germs: One of the biggest advantages of receiving care from a physician at home is that you do not expose yourself to the germs of a doctor’s office or hospital. If you are not feeling well — or if you have a compromised immune system — you want to avoid places full of unwell and contagious individuals, such as doctor’s offices and hospitals. Receiving care at home will ensure you are able to isolate and stay safe.
  • Increased Privacy: Hospitals and doctor’s offices are crowded, so it can be difficult to maintain full privacy. With at-home doctor’s visits, however, it is easy to receive care while also maintaining full privacy.
  • No Travel Necessary: If you are in need of medical care, traveling to and from the doctor’s office or hospital can be challenging. Depending on the reason you need care, travel may be reason enough to opt for at-home care.

How To Schedule An At-Home Doctor Visit:

The best way to schedule an at-home doctor visit is through an at-home private care provider. These providers are experts at ensuring you receive the right at-home doctor for your needs. They may also be able to help coordinate other related services such as in-home nursing care, senior care, and other medical-related at-home services.

Is A Home Nurse Right For You?

Los Angeles | Orange County | San Diego | Bay Area

Getting the proper nursing care is crucial for anyone looking to stay healthy, but finding the right nurse can be difficult. And while many people spend hours searching for a nursing care facility, they often overlook a more convenient and efficient option: In-Home Nursing Care.

Hiring a home nurse can mean better care, as you will receive the care you need in the comfort of your home. So, is hiring a home nurse right for you? In this article, we will discuss what nursing care at home is and whether it is the right choice for you.

What is In-Home Nursing Care?

In-Home Nursing Care is when a patient receives any type of nursing care from the comfort of his or her home. Home nurses can provide just about any type of care a regular nurse would provide at a treatment facility, including:

  • Care for senior citizens, including elder and hospice care
  • Cancer care
  • Mental health home care, including counseling
  • Alzheimer’s and dementia care
  • Care for various neurological diseases, such as brain injuries, ALS, and more
  • Home detox, including detox aftercare planning

Is In-Home Nursing Care Right For You?

The process of Home Care nurses is convenient and comfortable, but is it right for everyone? We recommend considering in-home nursing care if any of the following are true for you:

  • You are willing to pay more for premium care. In-home nursing care can be more expensive. However, this type of care offers the best in the business. In-home nursing care providers typically provide the best care in the market because they can tailor their care to each specific patient at his or her home.
  • Traveling is difficult for you or your loved one. Depending on the type of care you need, traveling to receive that care can be a burden on its own. If this is the case, consider looking into home care as an option.
  • You want to avoid large hospitals or treatment centers. There are many good reasons to avoid hospitals and larger treatment centers while seeking care. For example, they can be stressful and sometimes create a separate anxiety-related problem.
