Parkinson’s disease currently affects about one million people in the United States. It is a chronic, progressive disorder that affects movement. Parkinson’s involves the malfunction and death of neurons in the brain. Over time, many people experience shifts in thinking, attention, or energy that can affect confidence and independence.
At Parc Provence, our care team includes specialists in physical, occupational, and speech therapy who understand the progression of Parkinson’s-related cognitive changes. We focus on maintaining strength, balance, and daily independence while supporting emotional well-being for residents and families.
Recognizing the Signs of Parkinson’s Disease
Early signs can be subtle: slower movements, difficulty multitasking, or moments of confusion during medication cycles. When these changes begin to disrupt daily life, the right combination of structure, therapy, and understanding can make a lasting difference.
Slowed thinking or difficulty concentrating
Changes in speech, tone, or word-finding ability
Mood shifts or decreased motivation
Movement symptoms such as tremor, stiffness, or imbalance
Sleep disturbances or daytime fatigue
