Kruss, something you might consider is learning about Dance for Parkinsons, and determining if there's a chapter near you and your friend. 

It's a movement started by a professional ballet dancer who with other dancers adapts movements for those with Parkinsons.   There's no leaping, or en pointe dancing but rather slow, graceful movement, standing up or sitting down. 

It's more like a graceful Tai Chi workout.    Apparently it helps maintain movement as the disease progresses.

Note that some dancers do so while sitting down.

I read something that most patients don't die from Parkinson's but their lives are just diminished due to the disease.

He can be around for quite a long time, actually. Here is an excellent article from the Mayo Clinic explaining the disease:

And here is a link explaining the 5 stages of Parkinsons:
