NCF Care Advising Program
CARE ADVISING: A DIAGNOSIS OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE CAN BE OVERWHELMING AS IS THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET THAT OFTEN LEAVES A PERSON ASKING, "WHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED TO HELP ME OR MY FAMILY, STARTING TODAY?" THE NCF CARE ADVISOR ENCOURAGES FAMILIES WITH PARKINSON'S TO SEEK "A BETTER APPROACH TO PARKINSON'S" BY FOCUSING ON THE THINGS THEY CAN DO TODAY TO BEST MANAGE THEIR SYMPTOMS AND WHAT THERAPIES AND SERVICES CAN BE MOST USEFUL. THEY CONNECT FAMILIES LIVING WITH PARKINSON'S WITH COMMUNITY RESOURCES THAT CAN HELP THEM LIVE OPTIMALLY AT EACH STAGE OF THEIR DISEASE, INCLUDING THERAPISTS FOR SERVICES THEY MAY NEED IN THEIR CARE. NCF CARE ADVISORS WORK TO EDUCATE FAMILIES LIVING WITH PARKINSON'S SO THEY CAN HAVE A MOR INFORMED DIALOGUE WITH THEIR PHYSICIANS AND WITH EACH OTHER.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2022 – Jun 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$794.8KNCF Education Programs

SUPPORT GROUPS: A DIAGNOSIS OF PARKINSON'S CAN BRING WITH IT A WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONS AT EVER-CHANGING LEVELS OF INTENSITY.

A STRONG COMMUNITY CAN HELP THOSE WITH PARKINSON'S AND THEIR CAREGIVERS ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF A PARKINSON'S DIAGNOSIS. PARKINSON'S FAMILIES OFTEN EXPERIENCE SOCIAL ISOLATION DUE TO PHYSICAL AND GEOGRAPHIC LIMITATIONS.
