Today is World Parkinson's Day, a day dedicated to disseminating knowledge to spread awareness and promote research for finding a cure for people who live with this neurological disorder.

Parkinson’s is caused by the loss of nerve cells (neurons) in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra. This loss of cells results in a drop in dopamine levels. Consequently, this leads to symptoms of Parkinson’s like tremors and slow movement.

Diseases like this are why an integrated approach to allied health is so vital for the day to day life of someone living with a disorder that affects both physical and mental health.

According to the World Health Organisation, over 20% of adults aged 60 and over are living with a mental or neurological disorder and accounts for 6.6% of all disability among people over 60 years.

Moving into a nursing home or other residential aged care facility can be a critical life experience. It involves change.

Even at the best of times, some people (because of personality, self-beliefs, or other reasons), can find it difficult to cope with change.

The transition or change into living in a residential aged care facility carries with it several specific stresses which may make the change even more difficult. These types of changes, and stresses, include:

➛ Loss of one’s home
➛Changing relationships.
➛ Change of status
➛ Deteriorating physical health and mental health
➛ Loss of independence
➛ Losses of autonomy, identity, and dignity
