Understanding Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the nervous system, progressively impairing movement and coordination. It is characterized by symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability.

At Oaks at Radford Hills, we understand the challenges faced by individuals living with Parkinson's Disease and their loved ones. Our team of dedicated healthcare professionals, including experienced neurologists, physiotherapists, and specialized caregivers, work collaboratively to create personalized care plans that address the unique needs of each individual.
