Care Partner Tributes and Stories for

Family Caregivers Month

November is National Family Caregivers Month — a time to recognize and honor family care partners across the country. We all know how integral care partners are to each Parkinson’s disease (PD) journey and while they should be celebrated year-round, now is a great time to give them the special focus they deserve.


Many describe their role as a care partner to be rewarding and fulfilling, but it can also be overwhelming and stressful. We want all care partners to know that they are seen, appreciated, and that their efforts – big and small – make a world of difference. If you know someone who is a care partner, now is a great time to check in on them, applaud their efforts, and see if they need an empathetic ear.
