Parkinson's disease affects over 145,000 people in the UK, gradually impacting movement, coordination, and daily independence.

In Cheshire, residents of Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach, Alsager, Northwich, and Winsford have access to a growing network of support aimed at helping those affected by Parkinson's to live well in their own homes.

The Crewe & District branch of Parkinson's UK provides a vital community lifeline. Meeting regularly at Hopes and Beams

Community Support: You are not alone

in Crewe, the group offers support, advice, and a chance to connect with others living with Parkinson's. A subgroup also meets in Winsford at St Andrew's Methodist Church Hall on the last Thursday of each month. Visit their website for more information www.crewe-parkinsons.org

These meetings provide a welcoming space for individuals with Parkinson's and their carers to share experiences, access resources, and reduce isolation.

Home care that makes a difference

For many, remaining at home is the preferred way to manage Parkinson's—and with the right help, it's entirely achievable.

Some care providers offer specialist Parkinson's care tailored to individual needs. Their carefully trained carers provide support with personal care, medication, mobility, and more—all while prioritising dignity, comfort, and consistency. For example, Right at Home's person-centred approach includes longer, unrushed visits and efforts to match caregivers closely with clients to build trust and familiarity.

Importantly, their support goes beyond the physical—offering companionship, cognitive engagement, and emotional reassurance that can significantly improve quality of life for both clients and their families.

Living well at home

Living with Parkinson's at home isn't just about managing symptoms; it's about continuing to enjoy life. With professional support from services like Right at Home, many individuals are able to maintain their routines, relationships, and independence for longer.

Family carers also benefit, with the option of respite services to prevent burnout and support their own wellbeing.
