Parkinson’s care that fits your daily routine
Help where you need it, with time to do things yourself
You may want more time and assistance with washing and dressing, help preparing meals or someone to accompany you out. The support that feels useful in the morning may be different later in the day. We take time to understand how Parkinson’s affects your routines, what you want to continue managing yourself and where a carer could help.
At CM Bespoke Care, we already support people and families living with Parkinson’s. Our Home Care service can include personal care, meals, medication support, household tasks and companionship. We agree the assistance with you and take account of relevant advice from your Parkinson’s nurse, specialist and therapists.
Care can begin with help at particular times or a more substantial arrangement across the day. Our free, no-obligation assessment lets us discuss your needs, the proposed visits and costs together. If a relative or friend is helping you arrange care, we include them in the way you want and agree how information should be shared.

Understanding Parkinson’s and everyday life
Each person’s experience is different
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition. It develops when nerve cells that produce dopamine, a chemical involved in controlling movement, are lost. Slower movement, stiffness and tremor are common effects, while sleep, mood and other aspects of daily life can also be affected.
Symptoms vary between people and can change during the day. Someone may manage a task comfortably at one time and need help with it later. Allowing time, listening to the person and understanding their usual pattern are important when planning everyday assistance.
Medication and professional therapies can help manage symptoms. Your healthcare team remains responsible for treatment, while personal and practical care can support the routines around it. The NHS information about Parkinson’s explains the condition, treatment and sources of support.
Around 166,000 people
Parkinson’s UK’s 2025 estimates put the number of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s across the UK at around 166,000. Source: Parkinson’s UK, 2025 estimates.
Over 1 in 3 diagnosed before 67
In the UK population described by Parkinson’s UK’s 2025 study, over a third of people living with Parkinson’s had been diagnosed before age 67. Care planning may therefore need to consider work, family responsibilities and an active social life. Source: Parkinson’s UK, 2025 study.

When might care at home help?
Help with the routines you would like to manage more easily
There is no single point when everyone with Parkinson’s needs paid care. We welcome enquiries when you would like help with particular tasks, want to share an existing caring arrangement or need to review how support is working.
People we can support
We welcome enquiries from adults who are:
- Looking for help with personal care or getting ready for the day
- Finding that movement or energy changes affect everyday routines
- Needing support with prescribed medication arrangements
- Living alone and exploring a suitable care plan
- Returning home after hospital with an agreed support plan
- Sharing daily care with a partner, relative or friend
Our assessment considers the person’s abilities and preferences alongside the home environment, equipment and any healthcare input needed.
What would make your day easier?
You might welcome assistance with:
- Taking enough time for washing, dressing and using the toilet
- Preparing food, drinks and the things you need within reach
- Moving around using agreed aids and assessed assistance
- Planning visits around important routines and medication times
- Keeping up interests, appointments and contact with others
- Arranging reliable breaks for a family carer
Tell us which parts of the day you would like help with. We will work through the options with you and explain what an appropriate arrangement could involve.
What can Parkinson’s care at home include?
Practical help agreed with you
Your care plan sets out the tasks, preferences and professional guidance our carers should follow. The help provided during a visit reflects what you need at that time, while encouraging you to take part in the things you want to do yourself.
Personal care without rushing
We allow time for your preferred washing, dressing and grooming routine, with assistance that respects your privacy and choices.
- Bathing, showering and getting dressed
- Oral care and personal hygiene
- Toileting and agreed continence routines
- Getting up and preparing for bed
We discuss the help, equipment and staffing required so each task follows your assessed care plan.
Medication routines
Taking Parkinson’s medication at the prescribed times matters. We assess the support needed and whether the visit arrangement can meet those instructions before care begins.
- Supporting independence with medicines where appropriate
- Agreed prompts or administration by competent practitioners
- Recording support, refusals, omissions or delays
- Following the agreed route for concerns
Our carers follow the care plan and prescription; they do not change doses or medication times themselves.
Meals and drinks
We can prepare food you enjoy, help with drinks and offer the assistance you need at mealtimes, giving you time to eat comfortably.
- Meal preparation and light kitchen tasks
- Agreed help with eating and drinking
- Using recommended equipment
- Following written professional guidance
Swallowing concerns need professional assessment. Any food texture, drink consistency or medication-related meal instructions must come from the relevant healthcare team.
Mobility and getting out
We provide assessed assistance with moving around at home and, where agreed, going out for appointments, shopping or a familiar activity.
- Following moving and handling assessments
- Using agreed walking and transfer aids
- Allowing time when movement is difficult
- Following relevant therapist instructions
If freezing or changes in movement affect you, we include professional advice in the plan. Equipment, staff numbers and individual competencies are checked before assistance is agreed.
Communication and company
Visits make time for conversation, favourite interests and staying in touch with the people important to you.
- Listening and allowing time to respond
- Following your preferred ways to communicate
- Using agreed communication aids
- Company for hobbies and everyday activities
We speak directly with the person receiving care and check we have understood their wishes. Any speech and language therapy remains with the appropriate professional.
Keeping the household running
Practical assistance can help you keep on top of the household tasks that take time or energy, alongside your personal care.
- Light cleaning and laundry
- Shopping and agreed errands
- Preparing what you need for an appointment
- Keeping everyday items accessible
We agree the tasks and time needed with you. Family members can then plan their own involvement alongside the support our carers provide.
Care alongside your Parkinson’s healthcare team
Keeping everyday support connected with professional advice
Our carers provide the personal and practical assistance agreed at assessment. With your consent, we can share relevant information with the professionals involved so the support at home reflects their current advice.
Following your plan between appointments
We ask about the Parkinson’s nurse, specialist, GP and therapists involved in your care, along with any written instructions our team needs to follow. The plan can include medication support, moving and handling, mealtimes, communication and help preparing for appointments.
Carers record visits and relevant observations, including changes you want raised with the care manager. We agree what should be reported, who should be contacted and how authorised relatives can be kept informed. If you are coming home from hospital, we discuss the discharge information, equipment and care arrangements before support begins.
Knowing who to contact when needs change
Your healthcare team remains responsible for diagnosis, prescribing, treatment and therapy. Our practitioners follow the agreed instructions within their assessed competencies; nursing procedures and treatment changes need the appropriate qualified professional.
New or worsening symptoms, falls or difficulty swallowing should be raised promptly with the relevant healthcare professional. Our carers follow the agreed reporting and escalation arrangements and contact emergency services where immediate help is needed. We also review the care plan when changes affect the support required at home.
