About
Visionary Caregivers and Parkinson Partners Come Together
We are thrilled to announce that Parkinson Partners has officially joined forces with Visionary Caregivers, uniting under the Visionary Caregivers umbrella to create a stronger, more comprehensive organization dedicated to serving individuals and caregivers affected by chronic and life-altering conditions.
By combining the expertise, resources, and community focus of both organizations, we are expanding our mission to empower those we serve through advocacy, education, and a supportive, inspirational community. Parkinson Partners’ specialized focus on supporting individuals and families navigating Parkinson’s disease now becomes a vital branch of Visionary Caregivers, ensuring continuity of care while reaching even more people in need.
This structure reflects our shared commitment to fostering resilience, joy, and confidence in every life journey. Together, as one unified organization, we are better equipped to provide tailored services, facilitate meaningful connections, and champion advocacy for those impacted by health challenges.
Welcome to the next chapter of Visionary Caregivers and Parkinson Partners—where community, care, and compassion come together to make a lasting difference.
Mission
To empower individuals and caregivers affected by chronic and life-altering conditions through advocacy, education, and an inspirational, supportive community, encouraging joy and confidence in their life journeys
Our Purpose
Parkinson Partners LLC (PPLLC) is founded on an important belief that was shaped by 20+ years of direct, personal assistance to hundreds of Parkinson’s patients and their families.
We believe that people with Parkinsons (pwps) are often kept from attaining the best healthcare outcomes and the highest quality of life possible by simple obstacles that can be removed — if you know how. These obstacles include:
Limited education and common misconceptions about the disease.
Failure to make full use of healthcare professionals and other resources available to pwps
Insufficient encouragement and support from family and friends.
Lack of guidance on how to adjust to the new and rapidly changing conditions of life with Parkinson’s.
Not developing long-term plans to meet the challenges of the disease.
PPLLC eliminates such obstacles to a better life through the dual strategy of personal patient advocacy and lifestyle consulting to pwps and their families.
We are working with patients and families on an individual basis or as a consultant through an agency.
