Care Partner Tips and Tricks

Dealing with behaviors brought on by hallucinations & delusions

Has your loved one ever shared that there is someone in the room that’s not really there? Mistake an object for something else e.g., a snake instead of a hose? Or think people are acting against you?

Parkinson’s may have behavioral symptoms brought on by hallucinations (hearing, seeing or smelling things that are not there) and delusions (thinking & believing in things that are false, paranoid, beliefs). Some behavior management strategies can reduce the amount of burden induced with these symptoms.

Join Parkinson’s rehab specialists Josefa Domingos, John Dean and Nancy Hillmer for a discussion about:
• the kind of hallucinations and delusions people with Parkinson’s can potentially have,
• the importance of reporting these symptoms to the healthcare team, and
• management strategies may be helpful to deal with these symptoms.
