November Family Caregivers Month
November is a busy time of year and caregiver strain can become even more prevalent. We at the Foundation honor National Family Caregivers Month by offering support to those caring for people with Parkinson's Disease.
In 2025, we are launching a new support program where family caregivers can receive up to 3 hours of in-home care services through Right at Home during the month of November.
The Foundation is thankful for every in-home care provider that shows support to our mission. We thank Right at Home for piloting this program and will open this program to other interested in-home care providers in the future.
If you already work with a different in-home care provider, we will work with your current provider to ensure you can take advantage of this program while utilizing your current provider.
​
This program will be reviewed annually and adjusted based on assessment, feedback and resources. See below for more information including requirements and how to apply.
