For us, it's personal
Superior Healthcare was founded in 2006, following our CEO’s own experience of locating a care package to support his brother, Alex, who sustained a traumatic brain injury at age 11.
Having experienced firsthand the importance of high-quality, compassionate, and consistent complex care, we are driven to ensure that everyone – including people living with Parkinson’s disease – can live a fulfilled life, with fun, dignity, independence, and choice.

What is Parkinson’s disease?
Parkinson’s disease is a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years. It’s caused by a loss of nerve cells in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra. This leads to a reduction in a chemical called dopamine in the brain.
The three main symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are:
- Involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body
- Slow movement
- Stiff and inflexible muscles
A person living with Parkinson’s disease can also experience a wide range of other physical and psychological symptoms.
Parkinson’s disease facts:
- The number of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the UK is about 145,000. But we know that more than one million people in the UK are affected, either by living with Parkinson’s, or as a friend, colleague, or family member of someone who is.
- Parkinson’s develops when cells in the brain stop working properly and are lost over time. These brain cells produce a chemical called dopamine.
- Symptoms start to appear when the brain can’t make enough dopamine to control movement properly.
- There are 3 main symptoms – tremor (shaking), slowness of movement and rigidity (muscle stiffness) – but there are many other symptoms too.
