Very informative brief here!

Parkinson’s patients continue to grow in number. Visibility to this disease is seen in all aspects of our lives. Today Parkinson’s can be very normal work conversation when it wasn’t before. Celebrity death talk at the water cooler frequently includes the word Parkinson’s. Think about your work for a minute. Does your organization have a focus on disability awareness and advocacy? Really ? Does it? Do you have a Parkinson’s Hero in your organization? Many of us are always looking for things to get behind. Why not get behind your team. Does it make sense to give a Hero walk a go. Participation in these Hero walks just might be a way to communicate and strengthen your support both internally and in your communities. We are participating in the Grand Rapids Hero walk. Need a team to join. We are listed in the choices. We would love for all to join us in person or in spirit. It is a fun day. Give it some thought and hope to see you there.

An update from Matt VanAuken, Developmental Pathways’ CEO/Executive Director: “I wanted to give a quick update and let you all know that DP and its leadership are aware of the recent Colorado Sun article, which shares the real-world impact of the myriad challenges facing Colorado’s long-term care system (https://lnkd.in/g3HBzVmt). DP has been working tirelessly with community partners and HCPF on identifying and solving the countless underlying issues impacting families across the state and weighing heavy on our teams and county partners. We feel that we are making progress and that HCPF is working to resolve these complaints, and we will continue to push for solutions that bring relief quickly and foster genuine, long-term, sustainable solutions. This letter from HCPF, linked on our CMRD Known Issues page, acknowledges the issues that may impact you and reiterates their dedication to navigating these challenges: https://bit.ly/3wBlmN4 If you are a provider, member, or caretaker with inquiries regarding known issues regarding Case Management Redesign and/or actions you can take, please visit https://lnkd.in/g4UDKmAR

DFG Success Story #17 Facing mobility challenges, Mrs. S moved into her family's home, aided by a Disabled Facilities Grant. #dfgstories To ensure her safety & independence, the kitchen was transformed into two parts— a functional kitchen & an accessible bathroom with a level access shower! 🚿 Adapting the ground floor allowed Mrs. S to avoid using stairs, reducing her risk of accidents while maintaining privacy. The result? A safer environment for Mrs. S, her family's peace of mind, and reduced care needs! This strategic design has prevented hospital admissions, saving public health resources. The outcome emphasises the importance of #dfgstories in creating more inclusive homes and communities. 💕🏘️ Submit your story and change the narrative 👉 https://lnkd.in/eVNk9ixT
