Hi, does anyone know if there are neuro-PD rehab services within the home for the Sunderland area. I have heard the area of Durham (next to us) has a specialist neuro team that visits you at home and gives you physio and occupational therapy advice? is this nationwide or only available in certain areas?
Hi Morgan,
Thank you for your question and welcome to our forum.
We hope that others may be able to share their experiences with you, but we wanted to let you know we’re here if you need us.
Your GP should be able to advise you on what’s available in your area, but we have lots of information on our website that can help guide conversations with medical professionals: Health professionals and Parkinson's | Parkinson's UK
We also have a helpline where we can put you in touch with one of our Parkinson’s nurses who can offer their advice and guidance as you navigate through this process. It’s free to call and totally confidential: 0808 800 0303.
You might find our Sunderland care and support group useful to reach out to as well: https://localsupport.parkinsons.org.uk/provider/sunderland-care-and-support
We hope that this information helps and that you find the support you’re looking for.
Take care,
The Parkinson’s UK Moderation Team
