Currently, approximately 166,000 people in the UK are living with Parkinson’s disease – a brain disorder that damages dopamine-producing neurons. Typically, symptoms begin to appear when the brain cannot make enough dopamine to control movement properly. It is also progressive, meaning the changes it causes in the brain become more pronounced over time.
Symptoms of Parkinson’s can include:
Parkinson’s care at home offers personalised, nurse-led support for those living with the long-term condition.
With an experienced carer by your side, you’ll have access to the care you need, while maintaining independence and dignity in the home you love.
And with different home care options available – like short-term respite care, or full-time live-in care – you’ll receive exceptional care, completely tailored to your needs.
For over fifteen years, we’ve supported hundreds of families across England and Scotland, ensuring loved ones can live well at home, with dignity and independence.
With our carer matching process, we’ll find a fully-qualified carer who can support your loved one to continue doing what they love, in the home they cherish.
And, with a dedicated care manager, they’ll receive a detailed care plan based on their unique preferences, health needs and lifestyle. So you can rest assured that your loved one is receiving the very best care, built around them.

As a fully-regulated provider, we take part in routine inspections from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, and the Care Inspectorate (CI) in Scotland.
We’re currently rated ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC, and ‘Very Good’ by the CI, placing us within the top 3% of home care providers for our safe, effective, caring, well-led and responsive care.

There are many benefits to receiving Parkinson’s care at home. From familiar surroundings to the reassurance of being close to loved ones. It’s a way to feel comfortable and supported in the place you love most.
Our regional care managers have extensive experience in the industry, and work closely with our care managers to ensure your loved ones receive the highest quality of care.
With award-winning Parkinson’s care, your loved one can maintain their independence and quality of life in the place they love most.
All of our carers complete a training programme developed by in-house clinicians before being assigned to a placement. Plus, they’ll receive additional enhanced training for complex care needs.
We are not a care agency. We directly employ, train, and supervise all of our carers. That means you’ll receive consistent, reliable support, from carers we know and trust.
Our in-house experts, including Clinical Lead Sabah Shah and Dementia Champion Nichola Proctor, support our care teams to deliver compassionate dementia care at every stage of the condition.
We’ve won more awards than any other home care provider for our service, training and culture. Including a Home Care Award, and a National Dementia Care Award.
Our Parkinson’s care service is designed to be highly-personalised, and tailored to your loved one’s needs. We’ll conduct a free care consultation before care starts to develop a detailed care plan, which can include different types of support such as:
Our specialist care services are guided by our Clinical Lead, Sabah Shah who specialises in complex care.
We’re proud to offer flexible Parkinson’s care at The Good Care Group, designed to suit your lifestyle and needs. Whether that’s 24-hour live-in care for more complex needs, or as short-term care, or respite care, which allows a family carer to take a much-needed break.
Short-term care services can also provide the opportunity to experience how live-in care works and whether it is the right choice for your loved one.
While specialist Parkinson’s care typically carries a higher cost compared to other home care services, live-in care can offer better value than a traditional hourly service. With other domiciliary care providers, “extra” charges can exceed the price of a fully-personalised live-in service.
Our Parkinson’s care is typically in line with – and sometimes more cost-effective than – residential home care. It provides a level of dedicated, one-to-one attention that a care home simply cannot replicate, ensuring your loved one remains in the home they cherish.
