Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological disease. Thankfully, a diverse team of professionals at Stanford continues to work diligently toward treatment and a cure and to provide widespread assistance to Parkinson’s caregivers. Please join us for an engaging presentation by Steven Russell from Stanford about breakthrough innovations in Parkinson’s treatment, the new definition of the disease, how a multidisciplinary approach improves outcomes, and the latest in non-surgical interventions. Steven’s experience as his father’s primary caregiver brings firsthand perspective to our discussion, and he offers wise advice to help caregivers manage demands and prevent fatigue.
At Kensington Place, our dedicated team members specialize in caring for residents with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. We are skilled, prepared and ready to join them in every way on their wellness journey and to lend support to those who love them. As part of our commitment to enhance every resident’s quality of life, we draw from the expertise of professionals to stay current with advances in care and treatment. And we welcome all who need our support.
