Description
As the number of individuals living with Parkinson’s disease rises, so does the demand for effective home care services tailored to their unique needs. However, many caregivers lack a comprehensive understanding of Parkinson’s disease and its diverse array of symptoms. Research indicates that a significant portion of individuals with Parkinson’s do not receive timely medication, negatively impacting their quality of life.
In response to these challenges, this presentation introduces the TULIPS model — T stands for Time; U is for Understanding; L is for quality of Life; I is for Increased awareness; P is for Pills on time; and S is for Support — a comprehensive approach to Parkinson's assessment and care planning. Through practical strategies and tools, caregivers will learn how to address the complex motor, non-motor, and cognitive issues associated with Parkinson’s disease, ultimately enhancing the quality of care provided to individuals living with this condition.
