Blessings and Peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and your family, Manay.
Thanks for the question, manay it is very hard to care for parkinson's patients, there is great emphasis on physical exertion and emotional/mental ability, God Bless you for your love and caring of your mother in law.
If it is difficult, I would recommend you purchase a nasal feeding tube, to increase nutritional input for your mother-in-law. A decrease in appetite and refusal to eat is a hallmark of parkinsons patients. If you can, Manay, it would be beneficial if you could hire a part-time nurse to help you care for your mom-in-law.
Remember to feed your mom enough soft foods: proteins, starch, and multivitamins.
--If you can, purchase ensure for her, it is a chocolate brand of drink (comes in different flavors; it is a rich source of multi-vitamins, and high in protein and anti-oxidants).
This is what we give to my Lolo, who is himself 82 years old, and is good source of calcium, especially good for elderly patients with developing osteoarthritis and osteoperosis, and increased osteoclastic conditions (bone loss).
here is the link to ENSURE.
Im sure it is found there in Germany, its quite common in Europe.

For your mama's hypertension, ask your doctor to put her on Anti-Hypertensive medication:
recommed the following:
1. ACE INHIBITORS (angiotension converting enzyme inhibitors)
--> If your mom develops coughs when taking ACEINHIBS, then i recommend she takes: ARDS (LOSARTAN)
2. Beta Blockers
3. Calcium Channel Blockers
---> this works well for elderly patients over 55yo.
Thanks for asking Manay, and I do earnestly hope and pray your mama stays in good health.
An extra prayer here and there helps any medical treatment. he he he
EXTRA CARE AND EXTRA LOVE from OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Medicine can only do so much. The power of Prayer can compliment any treatment.
Blessings and Peace,
Bran
