Hello Anon

Thank you for writing. All member questions are answered within 24 hours.

According to the Parkinson's Foundation about Stage 5 of Parkinson's:

This is the most advanced and debilitating stage. Stiffness in the legs may make it impossible to stand or walk. The person requires a wheelchair or is bedridden. Around-the-clock nursing care is required for all activities. The person may experience hallucinations and delusions. The Parkinson’s community acknowledges that there are many important non-motor symptoms as well as motor symptoms.

Best,
Susan
