Support that works around good days and bad days
Parkinson's affects everyone differently, and it can change from hour to hour. Some mornings your loved one may manage almost everything alone. Other times, getting up from a chair, doing up buttons or eating a meal can take a lot longer and a lot more effort.
A carer can help keep the day steady. That might mean help getting up and dressed, a reminder to take medication at the right time, support on a walk, or simply time and patience at the dinner table. The aim is not to take over, but to help your loved one keep doing as much as they can for themselves.
Viola introduces you to a vetted, self-employed carer who suits your loved one, and we look for carers with experience of Parkinson's where available. You agree the arrangements directly with the carer, and we handle the agreement, invoicing and payments. Medical care stays with your loved one's GP, specialist and Parkinson's nurse.
Signs extra help at home might be useful
- Medication is sometimes missed or taken late
- Getting up, dressed and ready in the morning takes a very long time
- Your loved one has had a fall or a near miss, or freezes when walking
- Meals take much longer and they are eating less
- They go out less because they worry about managing alone
- A partner is doing most of the caring and is getting worn out
How a carer can help someone living with Parkinson's
Medication reminders
Reminders to take medication at the times set by their doctor, which matters a lot with Parkinson’s.
Steady routines
Planning the day around times when your loved one usually feels at their best.
Help getting around
Support getting up, walking around the home and going out, with patience when movement is slow.
Mealtimes
Preparing food that is easier to manage, cutting it up if needed and never rushing.
Washing and dressing
Help with fiddly tasks like buttons, zips and shoelaces, while encouraging independence.
Company and encouragement
Conversation, hobbies, walks and someone to keep spirits up on harder days.
Partner carers support everyday living. They do not carry out medical procedures.

How much does Parkinson's care at home cost?
Hourly care is £20 an hour, the same rate every day including weekends and bank holidays, with travel included. Overnight care starts from £140 per night, and live-in care starts from £150 per day (from £1,050 per week).
Do the carers have experience with Parkinson's?
We look for carers with experience of Parkinson's where available. You can talk to the carer before anything is agreed and ask about the situations they have supported before.
Can the carer give medication?
The carer can remind your loved one to take their medication at the right times. They do not carry out medical procedures, and changes to medication should always come from the GP or specialist.
What if needs change over time?
The support can change too. You can add hours, add overnight care from £140 per night, or move to live-in care later. If your regular carer is unavailable, we introduce a replacement.
