Maine Parkinson Society has long recognized the need for quality respite care in the Parkinson community and is pleased to offer a program to extend in-home respite care to any interested caregiver of a person with PD. MEPS respite funds are intended to ease the caregiving process and reduce caregiver stress.
To gain access to our respite care funding, a care recipient must be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and be in need of assistance at home. Respite care is intended to be temporary in nature and serves as a short term opportunity for caregiver rest and relief from their responsibilities.
