What Is The Treatment For Secondary Parkinson's Disease, Mini Strokes And Dementia?

My 76 year old sister has secondary parkinsonism, she walks very slow, has fallen several times, history of mini strokes, speaking is a problem and dementia type problems. Her Dr. told me all I could do is keep her nourished and safe. What am I really looking at here in terms of her health and well being? Does parkinsonism have stages?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Yes parkinsons disease has stages. And mostly the secondary parkinsosns do not have a specific cure except for trying for Memantin and Piracitam. Your sister will require supportive care.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
