April is National Parkinson’s Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about Parkinson’s disease and supporting individuals living with this condition. As a member of the Parkinson’s Foundation (formally Struthers) for the last 10-plus years, we feel sharing the complexities of Parkinson’s is imperative to help bring awareness and support to the community.
At The Geneva Suites, we are deeply committed to providing exceptional care and accommodation to individuals with Parkinson’s disease. We understand their unique challenges and strive to create an environment that promotes their well-being, independence, and overall quality of life.
When renovating our homes, we keep our Parkinson’s residents in mind. We have open floor plans with as few flooring transitions as possible. Taking pills on time is a big deal for all residents, but especially those with Parkinson’s. Our goal is to have pills on time every time. For us, that means within fifteen minutes of pass time. Most importantly, we remember that if we understand and care for one resident with Parkinson’s, their disease and the progression is very unique to them.
We invite you to join us in raising awareness about Parkinson’s disease this month. Please visit https://www.parkinson.org/parkinsons-awareness-month and learn more about the ABCs of Parkinson’s. Your support can make a significant impact in helping us reach individuals who may benefit from our specialized care and accommodation services. By sharing information about Parkinson’s and the resources we provide, you can help us make a difference in the lives of those living with this condition.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our shared goal of improving the lives of individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Together, we can positively impact and raise awareness about this important cause.

He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. We took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and decided to try PD-5 programme offered by Natural Herbs Centre which we researched prior. 3 months into treatment he has improved dramatically.… Read more »
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a year ago at the age of 67. For several months I had noticed tremors in my right hand and the shaking of my right foot when I was sitting. My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small, cramped printing. And I tended to lose my balance. The neurologist had me walk down the hall and said I didn’t swing my right arm. I had never noticed! I was in denial for a while, as there is no history in my family of parents and five older siblings, but I had to accept I… Read more »
