CARE PARTNERS

THE BASICS

The Parkinson’s Report compiled a few resource recommendations to provide pertinent details in a minimal amount of time for care partners. With an abundance of information on the internet, we have simplified the process for you by outlining the basics of Parkinson’s disease in one place. Take a look and educate yourself on the essentials of Parkinson’s care for your loved one.

FAMILY DYNAMICS

Change can be difficult when you are facing a progressive disease. Equipping yourself with the right tools can help the conversation about the disease, the future, and family dynamics be an intentional one. The Parkinson’s community has a wide variety of blogs, lectures, books, and more to help you navigate the conversations around the changes that are associated with Parkinson’s disease.

SUPPORT SYSTEMS

There are many types of support systems for people with Parkinson’s and their family members/care partners. The type of support you pursue largely depends on your interest in sharing with others who are on a similar journey but there are options for everyone. We have created a list of traditional and non-traditional ways you can get the reinforcement you need. Find something that works for you!
