Living Well with Parkinson’s in Wandsworth, Lambeth & Dulwich
Compassionate home care for Parkinson’s in Wandsworth, Lambeth & Dulwich. Expert support at home from trained Care Professionals in partnership with Parkinson’s UK.
Being diagnosed with Parkinson’s can feel overwhelming.
It’s a condition that affects the brain and can progress over time, usually starting with small symptoms like a tremor or slower movements.
But Parkinson’s is more than just shaking hands – it can also affect mood, sleep, balance, and even speech. There are over 40 potential symptoms, and no two people experience it the same way.
In the UK, around 153,000 people are living with Parkinson’s. While there’s no cure yet, the right care and support can make a big difference, helping people stay independent, safe, and well at home.
That’s where we come in.
How Home Instead Wandsworth, Lambeth & Dulwich Supports Clients with Parkinson’s
At Home Instead, we understand how complex and personal Parkinson’s can be. Our Care Professionals are specially trained to support people living with the condition, whether they’re newly diagnosed or further along in their journey.
We focus on compassionate, person-centred care that fits around your life, not the other way around. That means:
Getting to know you – We take time to understand your routines, your preferences, and what matters to you.
Flexible visits – Whether you need a few hours a week or more regular help, we work around your schedule.
One-to-one support – You’ll see the same Care Professionals regularly, so you build trust and feel at ease.
Our team can help with:
– Personal care (washing, dressing, grooming)
– Medication reminders
– Meal preparation and nutritional support
– Help with mobility and fall prevention
– Companionship, light exercise of the mind and body
– Emotional support and companionship
– Light housekeeping and errands
– Transportation to appointments or social events
Our clients continue to live at home with Parkinson’s, thanks to consistent and thoughtful care. And because we offer live-in care too, we can be there whenever you need us.
Our Partnership with Parkinson’s UK
To give the best care, we believe in working with the best. That’s why we have partnered with Parkinson’s UK, the leading charity supporting people affected by the condition. Through this partnership:
- Our Care Professionals receive specialist training created with Parkinson’s UK experts.
- We stay up to date with the latest research and care techniques.
- We promote understanding and dignity at every step.
We were also delighted to welcome Sarah, Area Development Manager at Parkinson’s UK, to our recent quarterly carers’ meeting, where she shared the latest developments in supporting people living with the disease, as well as exciting new initiatives across South London aimed at raising awareness and connecting people to the help and support they need.
Parkinson’s UK provides amazing resources, from advice lines to local support groups, and we work closely with them to make sure our clients feel connected and informed.
Working with Age UK Wandsworth
Parkinson’s doesn’t just affect the body; it can also lead to loneliness, especially if mobility becomes harder.
Together, we can help clients access:
– Friendly home visits and companionship
– Local activity groups and exercise classes
– Organise practical help around the home (like handyman services)
– Help access advice on benefits, housing, and staying independent
Our care services and community support go hand in hand, helping people stay active, safe, and connected in the place they love most: home.
