For a person with long-term Parkinson's who is now losing memory and struggling with daily tasks, it may be Parkinson's disease dementia. A neurologist can adjust Parkinson's medicines and may prescribe memory-supporting medications. Supportive care like help with daily activities, safety at home, physical therapy, and mental exercises is important to maintain quality of life.
