Many of those who are using hospice care for their loved one wishes they would have started the service earlier, and many of them realized that they did not receive the full benefits of hospice because of such.  Part of the reason is that the perception of hospice is one of “giving up”.  Since death is such a difficult object to talk about, many simply choose to avoid that conversation.  They best way to break through that perception is to understand how hospice can benefit you and your loved ones.  The main focus of a caregivers in hospice care is to ensure the patient has the comfort that they deserve according to this National Comprehensive Cancer Network article.  When treatments are not working, hospice caregivers want to help the patients to live their lives to their fullest.  If qualified, the cost of such care is covered by Medicare and Medicaid, and most private insurance in most states. Therefore, we encourage you to speak with your loved ones about the option of hospice care if they have terminal illness.

Life with Parkinson’s Disease – Driving

If you live in Southern California, chances are you are a driver. However, as much of a routine as driving is, a patient with Parkinson’s Disease might not be able to drive with such ease.  Not only does it involve the physical ability, but it also has to do with legal permissions and safety issues that could potentially be more trouble down the road.  While the patient might be able to operate a vehicle for several years with its initial diagnosis, the ability of the driver should be assessed constantly based on aspects of vision, general task handling ability, and reaction time.  As a patient on the Michael J. Fox Foundation website puts it best, “If a loved one were my passenger, would I be risking that person’s safety because of my Parkinson’s disease?”
