Hello,
If she has all the symptoms of Parkinson's disease then she needs to see her neurologist to get an evaluation. There are medications to treat Parkinson's disease. However, some of the parkinson's symptoms can also occur with dementia. In any case the neurologist would be the best one to sort this out.
