“What are the best care options for older adults with Parkinson's?”

There is not a standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease. The treatment for each person who has Parkinson's is based on the symptoms. Treatments primarily consist of medication with lifestyle modifications, such as more rest and exercise. Levodopa is the most potent medication for Parkinson’s disease. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, which is low in Parkinson's.
