Comprehensive Parkinson’s Care at TOTALCARE

While age is a significant risk factor—three-quarters of cases begin after the age of 60—Parkinson’s is influenced by a combination of genetics, environmental factors, and potentially traumatic brain injuries. Men are more likely than women to develop this condition, which currently has no cure, though treatments can help manage symptoms.

**TOTALCARE Living** is dedicated to providing comprehensive assistance to residents living with Parkinson’s, ensuring they receive the care, support, and resources necessary to maintain their quality of life.
