  | Adult Day Care an Aid for Victims of Parkinson\'s Adult Day Care an Aid for Victims of Parkinson's: My closest friend and colleague has Parkinson's disease. Her husband has been the primary caregiver for the past five years. He seems exhausted yet is doing the best he can. Although he clearly needs assistance, he refuses to get help in the house and only occasionally drives his wife to a physical therapist. I don't think my friend is getting optimal care. She is becoming more isolated, unsteady, thinner and increasingly dependent. What really is Parkinson's and what can be done to help a person? Is there anything I can do, besides worry? http://www.rednova.com/news/display/?id=106295 Can easily see how Adult Daycare could provide some much needed respite for someone caring for a patient with Parkinsons.
