We are incredibly proud to share that our owner and Executive Director is a Parkinson\u2019s Foundation Ambassador<\/strong>. Driven by a deep personal commitment to our Northern New Jersey families, she is working tirelessly to bridge the gap between care and the specialized needs of the Parkinson’s community.<\/p>\n Why Hospital Safety Matters for Parkinson\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Hospital stays are stressful for anyone, but for people living with PD, the risks are significantly higher. Statistics show that:<\/p>\n This “Symptom Spiral” often stems from a lack of movement and medication schedules that don’t match the patient’s precise at-home routine.<\/p>\n A New Standard: The Hospital Safety Guide<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>To combat these risks, our owner is part of a dedicated Parkinson\u2019s Foundation team presenting to local hospitals and Assisted Living communities across our region. They are sharing the Parkinson\u2019s Foundation Hospital Safety Guide<\/strong>, a step-by-step resource designed to help patients and care partners advocate for five critical care needs:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Tools for Success<\/strong><\/p>\n The Guide includes “tear-out” forms like the Medication Form<\/strong> and a Doctor\u2019s Letter<\/strong> signed by a specialist, which provide hospital clinicians with an immediate, clear roadmap for safe PD care.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Our Commitment to You<\/strong><\/p>\n By partnering with the Parkinson\u2019s Foundation and local healthcare facilities, we are working to ensure that when a member of our community enters a hospital, they are met with understanding and specialized care.<\/p>\n Whether you are a client of CareBuilders or a neighbor in the West Essex area, we want you to have these tools in hand before<\/em> a crisis occurs.
