Dear Becky-- I am concerned that your mother falls "2 or 3 times a day"-- and is only 2 years post-diagnosis. I understand that this may be the case for PWPs, but also know that falling is one predominant symptom of some of the "Parkinson-Plus" syndromes. The fact that she has not found a med program that helps her also raises questions. Just a thought--PD is not always diagnosed accurately, and it is very hard to distinguish the idiopathic (regular) PD from the Plus versions, which do NOT respond to Sinemet. Would it be worth double checking with her neurologist whether they are SURE of the dx?
