"My advice to care partners is to educate yourself about PD and to find the silver linings in tasks you will have to undertake to support your Parkinson’s person. I am in the best physical shape that I have been in many years because I engage in regular fitness activities with Denise.

Artistic plating and serving presentations help Denise deal with a loss of appetite and increase her interest in eating nutritional foods."
