Our specialist carers, support workers, and nurses are qualified and experienced. We ensure that they also receive comprehensive, client-focused training.

Home care from a specialist team

Our fully managed care addresses the client’s clinical and social needs while also supporting the emotional well-being of both the individual and their loved ones.

Parkinson’s can impact mental health, often leading to anxiety or depression. That’s why our nurse-led team takes a holistic approach alongside the clinical care we provide.

Many of our clients continue to lead active lives and pursue their passions, thanks to the assistance of our care and nursing teams in managing day-to-day symptoms. Our nurse managers support the wider team and adapt the care provided to meet the client’s evolving needs as the disease progresses.

Care for someone with advanced Parkinson’s

Superior Healthcare can provide all clinical interventions and dignified care for people approaching the end of their life..

Our Parkinson’s home care services assist individuals in maintaining control over their routine, lifestyle and care, placing their wishes and goals at the centre of a tailored care plan.

The Nurse Manager documents and guides these preferences. As the condition progresses, we assist clients and their loved ones in discussing care options. A specialist team and multidisciplinary professionals also support our clients in making informed decisions as symptoms evolve.

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.

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.

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.
