✋Parkinson’s isn’t just about movement.
This Parkinson’s Awareness Month, let’s shine a light on the silent symptoms.💙

Many of its symptoms are invisible—like anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep problems, pain, and memory changes—yet they can have the biggest impact on daily life.

April is Parkinson's Awareness Month! Here are some early signs of Parkinson's Disease for both carers and clients.

April is Parkinson's Awareness Month! Our community health team regularly supports clients diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease both newly diagnosed and those who have had a diagnosis for longer. Often the diagnosis feels overwhelming, and symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive changes, reduced confidence, and isolation make daily life challenging.
Through coordinated support, the Movement Disorder Nurse and broader community health team work together to:
✔️ Provide education on Parkinson’s symptoms, medications, and self‑management
✔️ Monitor changes and coordinate timely referrals
✔️ Link the client into Speech Pathology, OT, Physio, Exercise Physiology, Social Work, Continence Nursing and other community programs
✔️ Assist with NDIS preparation, documentation, and navigation and the My Aged Care program.
✔️ Support reconnection with social groups, Parkinson’s programs, and community activities
If you or someone you know is looking for support with Parkinson's Disease, you can find out more about what is on offer at South West Healthcare by visiting: https://southwesthealthcare.com.au/service/movement-disorder-nurse

💊✨Medication Safety Week is the perfect time to support the seniors in our community to stay safe, confident, and independent with their medications 💙

Managing multiple medications can be challenging — but a few simple steps can make a big difference:

✔️ Use Webster packs (blister packs) to organise daily doses and reduce confusion
✔️ Keep an up-to-date medication list and bring it to every appointment
✔️ Set reminders or alarms for medication times
✔️ Store medications in a cool, dry, and secure place
✔️ Avoid mixing medications unless advised by a healthcare professional
✔️ Check expiry dates regularly
✔️ Ask your pharmacist about possible side effects or interactions

Regular medication reviews with your GP or pharmacist can also help ensure everything is still right for your needs.

🩺🦠Immunisation is one of the simplest, most effective ways to safeguard your health—especially as we get older. A quick jab can help protect you from serious illness, complications, and hospital stays.
