  • What is Parkinson’s Disease?

    NDIS Parkinsons Disease

    Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects the brain’s ability to control movement. It occurs when nerve cells in the brain, especially those responsible for producing dopamine, begin to break down or die. Dopamine is a chemical that helps coordinate smooth, controlled muscle movements, and when its levels drop, a range of motor symptoms begin to appear. Common signs of Parkinson’s Disease include tremors, stiffness, slowed movements, balance difficulties, and changes in posture. 

    Many people may also experience non-motor symptoms such as sleep disturbances, mood changes, fatigue, and cognitive challenges. While Parkinson’s Disease has no cure, early diagnosis and proper management can significantly improve quality of life. Treatment often includes medications, lifestyle adjustments, physical therapy, and personalised support. With the right care and NDIS support available in Perth, individuals can continue to live meaningful, active, and independent lives despite the condition.

  • Why Choose Compass Care Group For Parkinson’s Disease?

    • Expert Advocacy: Their team provides expert advice, advocacy, and support during the assessment and review process with health authorities. Having a trained advocate at review meetings can be crucial for a positive outcome.
    • Financial Expertise: By securing funding from day one, they aim to prevent families from paying care fees out-of-pocket and then trying to recover them later. They have successfully recovered significant amounts of wrongly paid care fees for clients.

  • Benefits of Choosing Compass Care Group for Parkinson’s Disease

    • Integrated Multidisciplinary Care: A team of healthcare professionals (neurologists, therapists, social workers, etc.) collaborates to create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both motor and non-motor symptoms, ensuring all aspects of the disease are managed in a coordinated manner.
    • Personalised Care Plans: Care is tailored to the individual’s specific needs, preferences, and goals, which helps patients maintain function and quality of life for as long as possible.
    • Improved Symptom Management: The integrated approach ensures consistent monitoring and timely adjustment of medications and therapies, leading to better control over symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and balance issues.
    • Care Coordination and Patient Navigation: Dedicated care coordinators or patient navigators guide patients and families through the complex healthcare system, reducing fragmentation of care and ensuring timely access to the right providers and community resources.
    • Early Detection and Prevention: Proactive monitoring for changes in symptoms or signs allows for preemptive interventions, which can prevent complications (like falls or anxiety) and avoid unnecessary emergency department visits or hospital admissions.
    • Enhanced Quality of Life and Independence: By focusing on functional abilities, safety in the home environment, and emotional well-being, this model helps patients maintain independence and engagement in daily activities and social connections.
    • Caregiver Support and Education: Caregivers receive essential education, support, and resources, which reduces their burden, anxiety, and risk to health, while empowering them to provide effective assistance.
    • Access to Specialised Expertise: Patients benefit from the expertise of specialists specifically trained in Parkinson’s disease, who are more aware of the latest evidence-based guidelines and management options.

  • Examples of Parkinson’s Disease

    NDIS Parkinsons Disease
    • Tremor: Rhythmic shaking that often starts in one hand or finger and can be noticeable at rest. 
    • Slowed movement (bradykinesia): Tasks like getting dressed or washing may take much longer than before. 
    • Rigidity: Stiffness in the muscles, which can cause aching and resistance to movement. 
    • Postural instability: Difficulty with balance and an increased risk of falling, often leading to a forward-leaning posture. 
    • Gait changes: Taking small, quick steps, and may reduce swinging of the arms. They may also experience “freezing,” where they feel stuck and unable to move. 
    • Speech and writing changes: Speaking more softly or in a monotone, and writing that becomes smaller and more cramped (micrographia).
