This membership program enhances the quality of care for individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Angels On Call said this partnership underscores commitment to providing specialized, compassionate care that empowers clients to live with dignity and purpose.

Angels On Call Homecare joins a group of senior living communities and homecare agencies dedicated to improving care and educational support for clients affected by Parkinson’s disease. The Parkinson’s Foundation aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of health care providers, ensuring they remain informed about the latest advancements in PD care, management strategies and best practices.

“At Angels On Call Homecare, we are truly honored to be recognized by the Parkinson’s Foundation as a trusted community partner,” emphasized Eric Dalton, vice president of Angels On Call Homecare. “Our innovative and specialized care model focuses on the unique needs of each individual.

Each year, approximately 90,000 individuals in the U.S. are newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, contributing to an expected prevalence of 1.2 million by 2030. Through its Community Partners in Parkinson’s Care program, the Parkinson’s Foundation delivers a comprehensive curriculum of PD education to its partners, equipping care providers with the necessary tools and knowledge to meet each client’s unique needs.

The Community Partners in Parkinson’s Care membership requires participating organizations to educate at least 70% of their staff, enhancing their ability to care for clients holistically.

“The Community Partners in Parkinson’s Care membership program is comprised of senior living communities and home care agencies that have committed to improving care and providing support to people living with PD and their families,” Gardner said. “We appreciate all Angels On Call is doing to educate their staff to improve care for those living with PD.”

The Parkinson’s Foundation’s training program focuses on best-practice care related to movement, non-movement and cognitive symptom management. This commitment to quality education ensures that Angels On Call Homecare’s care providers are well-equipped to handle the complexities associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Angels On Call Homecare’s certified caregivers implement evidence-based strategies to support clients’ emotional and cognitive well-being, foster safe environments, enhance communication and promote social interactions that reinforce dignity and respect.
