Family Caregivers
OHSU Parkinson Center of Oregon knows that when one person is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, their family and loved ones need support and care as well. We believe family members are partners in the care team for the patient. Therefore, we strive to support and educate the family caregiver just as we do the patient.
To that end, we have a Family Caregiver Specialist who is available for support and consultation.
We recommend the following websites for further information, support, and resources for family caregivers.
Contact Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon (PRO) to ask about support groups specifically geared toward caregivers (800 426-6806).
