Parkinson's Disease:  An Overview for Caregivers

"Parkinson's now affects more than one million Americans, more than 17,000 in Colorado.  Parkinson’s can be diagnosed at any age.  Under the age of 60 is considered young onset. In this webinar we will learn how to recognize the symptoms and how to provide better care for those with Parkinson's.  You will learn tips and ideas and help with preventative strategies to promote safety and improve the lives of your residents who have the disease."
