Caring for someone with Parkinson's

Carers play an important role in the care and support of someone with Parkinson’s. They are often partners and family members, but could also be friends or neighbours. Many carers who provide care and support will not view themselves as a “carer”. First and foremost they will view themselves as a wife, a husband, son, daughter or partner. The care they provide is unpaid.
