7 Physical Changes in Late Stage PD Increasing Falls: Frequent reason for ER visits and hospital admissions. Pain: May occur due to fall injuries, increased muscle rigidity, difficulty with position change, or other medical conditions. Exercise, analgesics, heat, massage and/or physical therapy may be helpful.
8 Physical Changes in Late Stage PD Bowel and Bladder: Encourage fluids and fiber, use pads, set a regular toileting schedule. Oral Hygiene: Use an electric toothbrush twice daily using toothpaste that contains baking soda or peroxide. If not able to brush, use a swab to clean around teeth and within the mouth.

14 Create a Soothing Environment Use warm colors, soft fabrics Surround yourselves with objects that are meaningful Bring nature indoors Use favorite music Fill a room with a pleasing fragrance
15 Maintaining Care partner Health Stay strong and flexible! Minimize care partner injury risk through regular exercise.
