Parkinsonism
Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement and coordination. It often develops after the age of 60, is more common in men, and gradually worsens with age. While medications can slow down its progression, they cannot cure the condition.
Common Symptoms:
- Tremors or shaking
- Stiffness in the arms and legs
- Difficulty walking, imbalance, and frequent falls
- Trouble speaking, chewing, or swallowing
As the disease advances, mobility declines, and individuals may need assistance with all daily activities such as bathing, dressing, feeding, and medication management.
At Kancare, we ensure that every patient receives personalized care, therapy, and daily support to help them live as independently and comfortably as possible.
Stroke
A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked or a blood vessel ruptures. This can cause significant and sometimes permanent challenges, especially in elderly patients.
Possible Symptoms:
- Paralysis or weakness on one or both sides of the body
- Slurred or difficult speech
- Confusion, disorientation, or behaviour changes
- Vision problems
Recovery after a stroke can be slow, and in many cases, elderly patients may face long-term effects or risk of recurrence. Prolonged nursing care and rehabilitation are often needed.
At Kancare, our team provides specialized rehabilitation programs, physiotherapy, and round-the-clock nursing support, giving patients the best chance to regain strength and confidence while ensuring families feel supported.
Motor Neuron Disease (MND)
Motor Neuron Disease is a rare but serious condition that causes gradual, progressive weakness by affecting the nerves. Although there is currently no cure, patients remain mentally alert even as their physical abilities decline.
As the disease progresses, individuals often require full assistance with daily living activities such as eating, dressing, mobility, and personal care.
At Kancare, we focus on comfort, compassionate nursing care, and dignity for patients with MND, ensuring that families are not alone in managing the challenges of this illness.
