Stanford's APDA Information & Referral Center and Stanford Parkinson's Community Outreach coordinate a local Parkinson's Disease (PD) support group in Palo Alto. Prepandemic, we met at a senior housing community and, prior to that, at a senior center. During the pandemic, as of March 2021, we are now meeting virtually. Our meetings will highlight local resources.

The March 2021 meeting was focused on "Options for Parkinson's Care." The first of two speakers was:

Leslie Kefer, Home Instead, Sunnyvale.
(This office services many cities around Sunnyvale, including Palo Alto.) She addressed:

Options for Parkinson's care (including home care, facility placement, etc.)
What are home care agencies doing to keep people safe during the pandemic
How to select a home care agency
How to interview home care aides
Having a "70/40" discussion what the heck is that?!
