Who We Serve

Spouses and Families

Caregiving for a loved one can be both a profound act of love and a challenging journey. We provide family caregivers with a supportive community to connect with others who understand their experiences. Here, you’ll find resources to help navigate advocacy, access to creative outlets like to recharge your spirit, and a space to rediscover joy and self-care amidst your caregiving role.

You will also find tools and resources to help in your journey.

Private Caregivers

Even when you clock out, the emotional and mental weight of caregiving never truly leaves. We offer a space where paid caregivers can decompress, connect with others who understand the unique challenges of your work, and find inspiration through creative events and meaningful conversations. This is a place where you can care for yourself as much as you care for others.

Agencies

Supporting your caregiving staff is vital to their well-being and your organization’s success. Our community offers a safe, enriching space where your caregivers can find relief, access resources, and recharge through creativity and connection. By investing in their well-being, you’re helping them sustain their compassion and excellence in care.

"It is what you don't know about Parkinson's and caregiving that makes all the difference, positive and negative. This is why I believe we all must cherish time with our loved ones and our friends, and as my husband says, "let laughter lead the way to healing." ~ Katherine Autin, Founder
