[The homecare provider, a little-known player in the care of Parkinson's patients]

Abstract

Setting up a device-based treatment for a Parkinson's patient at home is a complex affair. The homecare nurse, an expert in this pathology, coordinates the various professionals working with the patient, and is the privileged contact for the prescribing doctor. Thanks to his or her wide range of skills, he or she can provide invaluable assistance to ensure that the patient's care goes smoothly.
