Parkinson’s Care

Partnered with a Parkinson’s physician. Integrity Senior Placement works with a consulting physician who specializes in Parkinson’s disease, memory loss, and neurological movement conditions. Their expertise shapes how we read each family’s situation and which communities we recommend, so we can match your loved one with partner communities genuinely equipped to support them.

Caring for a loved one with Parkinson’s

Caring for an aging loved one with Parkinson’s disease presents unique, evolving challenges. As a progressive condition, Parkinson’s affects movement, balance, speech, and, over time, cognition, and the level of care needed grows alongside it. The combination of mobility decline, fall risk, strict medication timing, and eventual cognitive changes is more than most families can manage safely at home. With Parkinson’s diagnoses rising across Arizona, more and more Phoenix caregivers are turning to professionals who understand the disease and the specialized communities equipped to care for it.

What does Parkinson’s care look like?

Quality Parkinson’s care goes beyond standard assisted living. The communities we recommend in the Phoenix metropolitan area are equipped to provide:

  • Staff trained in mobility support and fall prevention, the leading safety risk in Parkinson’s.
  • Strict, on-time medication management, which is critical because late Parkinson’s medication can cause rapid decline.
  • Access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy to preserve function and independence.
  • Nutrition and swallowing support as the disease advances.
  • Calm, easy-to-navigate environments that reduce fall hazards and confusion.

Finding Parkinson’s care in Phoenix

Before you take on the overwhelming task of researching facilities, talk with the specialists at Integrity Senior Placement, whose Parkinson’s recommendations are guided by our consulting physician. We assess where your loved one is today and where their care is headed, then match them to thoroughly vetted partner communities that can support the full progression of Parkinson’s, so you’re not forced to move them again as needs increase. Because Parkinson’s so often involves memory and cognitive changes, we’ll also make sure the right communities can support those needs. See our Memory Care services. Our consulting physician’s practice also addresses stroke patients, whose mobility and recovery needs often overlap with Parkinson’s; if your family is navigating a stroke, see our Stroke & Dementia Care Homes services. You are not alone in this journey, and our help is always free to your family.

Common questions

Questions families ask about parkinson’s care

Does Integrity work with a Parkinson's specialist?
Yes. Integrity Senior Placement works with a consulting physician who specializes in Parkinson's disease, memory loss, and neurological movement conditions. Their expertise shapes how we read your family's situation and which communities we recommend. That means your loved one gets matched with partner communities genuinely equipped to support Parkinson's, rather than a general assisted living building that happens to have an opening.
What should a Parkinson's care community in Phoenix provide?
Quality Parkinson's care goes beyond standard assisted living. The communities we recommend in the Phoenix metropolitan area offer staff trained in mobility support and fall prevention, strict on time medication management, and access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy. They also provide nutrition and swallowing support as the disease advances, in calm, easy to navigate settings that reduce fall hazards and confusion.
Why does medication timing matter so much with Parkinson's?
Late Parkinson's medication can cause rapid decline, so the schedule is not something a community can treat loosely. This is one of the first things we ask about when we vet a place for your loved one. We look for staff who manage doses strictly and on time, every time, because the difference between on schedule and late shows up in how your parent moves and feels.
Will my loved one have to move again as Parkinson's progresses?
That is exactly what we try to prevent. Parkinson's is progressive, affecting movement, balance, speech, and eventually cognition, so we assess where your loved one is today and where their care is headed. Then we match them to vetted partner communities that can support the full progression, including the memory and cognitive changes that often come with it.
Is it safe to keep someone with Parkinson's at home in Arizona?
It depends on the stage, and the honest answer for many families is that it gets harder. Mobility decline, fall risk, strict medication timing, and eventual cognitive changes combine into more than most households can manage safely. With Parkinson's diagnoses rising across Arizona, more Phoenix caregivers are turning to professionals who understand the disease. Our help costs your family nothing.
Reviews

What families say

I worked with David Pionteck to help me find a perfect place for my brother who has parkinsons and is moving to Scottsdale from New Jersey. David is professional, knowledgeable and really fun to be around. He set all the appointments to look at facilities and group homes and always met me with a smile. He was great during this stressful time. We found a wonderful group home.

I am so thankful that David Pointer was referred to me! David was professional, kind, and listened to my requirements for my Aunts group home. He found the perfect home for my Aunt. I would trust David with any of my future needs for a family member.

Reina was beyond helpful in finding an amazing care home for my parter after he suffered a stroke. It seemed as though everything was such a daunting task as far as trying to figure out my next steps. She was there to help me get through it. I am so grateful for everything Reina did to help.
Suzanne D. · June 2025
We, my brother, sister and I, had the pleasure of working Reina, Sr Living Specialist, to help us find the perfect place for our mother. She was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. We would strongly recommend her to anyone that must look for a placement for their relative.

What people are saying

Integrity Placement exceeded our expectations. We called with an urgent need to relocate our 88 year old mother with advanced Parkinson's disease, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis, and a heart condition to a safe, capable and conducive environment. Having changed ownership and management, her then current facility had dramatically declined, replaced administration with unethical leadership, and become an elder-care warehouse. David listened to our list of needs, our experiences, and our hopes. Within a week Integrity Placement had researched potential fits, contacted AND prepared several to address our needs, guided us through on-site reviews, and helped us walk through the decision process. Every alternative we visited was exceptional and prepared to address our specific financial and medical needs. We found a match a could not be happier or more relieved.

David is amazing to work with. He made a huge difference in a very difficult time for our family. We were amazed at his efficiency in finding options for care homes and couldn't have found such a wonderful option without his guidance. But most of all, his kindness and warmth was everything to us. We will remain forever grateful.
Anna & Jeff KPhoenix, Arizona Assisted Living Placement
Reina is truly our guardian angel. Fortunately, she was referred to me to help find a placement for my brother who was being discharged from a north Scottsdale facility at a moments notice. Having to deal with a facility and insurance who don't have your loved ones best interest at heart is maddening. I was panicked. Reina calmed my fears and was instrumental in finding a wonderful placement for Joe. She stayed connected with me during the entire process and continues to be a part of our lives. I appreciate her and the value of Integrity Placement and know this transition went as smoothly as it did because of Reina. Her dedication to her clients and families, her knowledge, honesty, patience, and professionalism are truly incredible. I can't thank Reina enough for how much she helped our family.
Colleen DNorth Scottsdale, Arizona Senior Placement
The folks at Integrity Placement can be described in one word, AMAZING! They made an extremely difficult and overwhelming situation very easy for our family. We had to place our mom in an assisted living situation very quickly. Both David and Reina were awesome, extremely responsive and compassionate. David helped us find a place that is a wonderful new home for our mom. We would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone!!
Toni MPhoenix, AZ Assisted Living Placement
