As Parkinson’s disease progresses, care needs can become more complex—impacting daily routines, independence, and long-term planning. This webinar will help veterans, and their care partners prepare for the changes that may come with advancing Parkinson’s. We’ll explore strategies for proactive care planning, VA services to support evolving needs, and resources to maintain quality of life through each stage of the disease.
