Parkinson’s & Chronic Care Support in Port Moody, Coquitlam & PortCoquitlam: Help with Routines, Medication, and Mealtime

For families in Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam, managing a loved one’s Parkinson’s disease or chronic health condition can be a daily challenge —especially during the most crucial parts of the day: mornings, mealtimes, and evenings.

At Just Like Family Home Care, we specialize in customizable, flexible in-home support designed to make these high-stress times more manageable—for both clients and their families.

Supporting the Most Important Times of Day

Daily structure is essential for anyone living with Parkinson’s, MS, arthritis, or chronic fatigue. Even small disruptions can impact health and quality of life. That’s why our caregivers are trained to assist during the transitional moments of the day when extra help matters most.

Morning Routine Support

Mornings can be particularly difficult due to stiffness, fatigue, and mobility challenges. We help by:

Gently waking clients and assisting with getting out of bed safely
Supporting personal hygiene, grooming, and dressing
Preparing a warm, nutritious breakfast tailored to dietary needs
Offering companionship and encouragement to start the day positively

Medication Reminders & Coordination

Staying on top of medications is critical, especially with conditions like Parkinson’s where timing can affect motor control. Our caregivers:

Provide timely medication reminders
Track adherence and note changes in condition or side effects
Communicate with family or healthcare providers as needed
This reduces missed doses and provides peace of mind to families who can’t always be present.

Mealtime Optimization

Meal preparation and eating can become challenging due to tremors, loss of appetite, or difficulty swallowing. We assist by:

Preparing nutritious meals that match dietary restrictions
Helping clients eat with dignity and comfort
Encouraging hydration and monitoring food intake
Keeping mealtimes calm, unhurried, and safe

Evening & Bedtime Wind-Down

As energy levels dip and confusion or agitation may rise in the evening (especially for those with cognitive decline), a calm and supportive evening routine is key. We support by:

Helping with dinner preparation and cleanup
Providing evening hygiene assistance and dressing for bed
Encouraging relaxation and minimizing nighttime falls
Ensuring medications are taken before bed, if required

Real Family Impact in Coquitlam

A local client, Mr. T., was living with mid-stage Parkinson’s and frequent evening confusion. His daughter, balancing full-time work, couldn’t always be there for his dinner or bedtime routine. Our team began providing 7am morning visits and 6pm evening care, helping with hygiene, medication, and meals. Within weeks, Mr. T. was sleeping better and had more energy in the morning—while his daughter finally had peace of mind.
