Understanding Parkinson's Disease

What families in Monmouth County need to know

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological disorder affecting motor function — tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability — often accompanied by non-motor symptoms including cognitive changes and depression.

Monmouth County spans coastal Red Bank to inland Freehold and Marlboro; Hackensack Meridian's Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the flagship. For parkinson's care specifically, Monmouth County families benefit from proximity to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, which serves as the county's primary acute-care and discharge-coordination anchor.

Post-hospital discharge coordination: When a Monmouth County senior is discharged after a parkinson's-related admission, private-pay home care can typically start within 24-48 hours. Jersey Shore University Medical Center's case management team works directly with local premium home care providers to arrange coverage before the person arrives home.

Care intensity in Monmouth County: Care intensity typically starts at 4-8 hours/day in mid-stage disease and scales to 24-hour coverage as motor and cognitive symptoms progress.
