Parkinson’s Specialty Care

Parkinson's Specialty Care offers a home-like setting for seniors living with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, focusing on respect, dignity, and quality care, and you'll find the place sits quietly at the end of a cul de sac in south Maplewood near a wildlife area, so it's peaceful and there's a deck to sit on and watch nature if you want. The community tailors its programs and therapies just for people with Parkinson's and similar disorders, and their partnership with Struthers Parkinson's Center, a National Center of Excellence, means they follow well-known care methods, and all the staff take part in ongoing training including quarterly Parkinson's CEU, Home Health Aide Core training, and a Parkinson's-specific education curriculum. The living spaces are set up to make life easier, with private or semi-private rooms, all furnished, and you get common rooms like a sunroom, living room, and dining area, so there's space to relax or join in daily activities. Residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, and daily living tasks, with nurses on call 24/7 and nurses on site 20 hours a week, and housekeeping, laundry, and linen service are included. The meal services can meet special diets like diabetes, and everyone can join in the regular exercise classes to help mobility, which matters a lot when you have a movement disorder, and the property has amenities like cable TV and internet so you stay connected. The focus here always stays on neurological and chronic condition management, using technology like Temi the Robot for engagement and SafelyYou Fall Prevention to support safety for falls. You'll find programs and support designed to encourage active living, brain health, and social connection, with scheduled daily activities, community events, and even outdoor time on the deck or watching the wildlife. They also help with transportation, including medical appointments, and offer respite care for short-term stays when caregivers need a break. The community's C.R.E.A.T.E. program highlights their approach to residential living, and the staff try to make every day meaningful with support for independence as much as possible. Residents have no pets, but they have other comforts like round-the-clock awake staff, an alarm system, and a night monitor for safety. You'll pay a daily rate running from $300 to $425, depending on your room and care needs, and the setup covers needs for assisted living, skilled nursing, independent living, memory care, respite care, hospice, home care, adult day services, and care suites. Everything - from therapy and nursing to meal preparation and coordination with outside healthcare providers - centers on making daily life safe, comfortable, and as full of dignity and companionship as possible for people facing Parkinson's or similar conditions.
