Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post.
I heard today that one of my husband's parents has Parkinson's. They live on their own and we are their nearest family.
I've had a look at a couple of websites but they seem a bit vague about what to expect. I know that it can probably vary from person to person but my DH is thinking that we need to have some sort of plan.
His parent has been coping but we have been worried about their health for a while as they suddenly seem older and frailer and we're not convinced that they eat that well when they are on their own. On the other hand they still socialise, drive and manage day to day life. They are in their late 70s.
Has anyone been through anything similar with a parent or parent-in-law? What sort of plans and on what sort of timescale should we make? They live about an hour away from us, so whilst we see them regularly it's not really popping in distance.
