Medication timing as core practice
Levodopa windows protected. Workers know what an off period looks like and how to support through it without rushing.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's care is in the timing. Miss it and the day is lost.
Medication windows, on-off fluctuations, and freezing of gait are not edge cases. They are the day. WEYA workers are trained to keep the rhythm.
What WEYA actually does
The clinical specifics, not the brochure.

Freezing-of-gait support

3

Lewy body and Parkinson's-related cognitive change supported with patience and behaviour awareness.
4
Therapy carryover
