Parkinson’s Support – Lonnie Ali

One of the most recognizable names in Parkinson’s is the great Muhammad Ali, which makes one of his greatest supporter, his wife, Lonnie Ali, a great advocate in care giving and support in the world of Parkinson’s and a member of the Michael J. Fox Foundation Council.  Here is a few tips from her on how to provide the best care for your Parkinson’s patient. She believes it is crucial to stay organized as part of the care process so one do not get overwhelmed by the tasks on hand.  Furthermore, by keeping a dedicated calendar for the loved ones, it is much easier to keep track about doctors appointment, medication dates, and keep a list of the contact information of doctors in case of emergency. Second, it is best to understand the medical insurance coverage of your loved ones as it is critical to know what type of services are covered. Then make sure the current plan meet the medical needs of the patient.  Lastly, it is vital to know your rights and the rights of your loved ones. From elder rights, disability rights, to rights for family leave,  the more understanding you have about these rights, the more power you will have to stand up for your rights when the time comes.

What Is Hospice Care?

What exactly is hospice care and how does it work? Hospice care is a type of care for anyone, regardless of age, with a terminal illness and a diagnosis of less than six months to live. Hospice care is different from other types of care in that it’s focus shifts from treatment to cure the disease to focus on the quality of life. The main goal for hospice care is to ensure patients are living as comfortably as possible with pain and discomfort control. Hospice care is provided by a team of professionals such as doctors, nurses, and caregivers. Depending on the condition of the patient and their family, other supporting roles such as spiritual services and home care services may  be needed. Many have the idea that hospice care is provided at home. Hospice care can actually be provided in homes, nursing homes, or hospitals. Learn more about “Hospice Care” through Medline Plus.
