Our Innovative PD Program

In Ontario, patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) now have access to a highly developed program within the community. With support of the Registered Nurses Foundation of Ontario, Nurse On Board has established a Community Interprofessional Program for People with Parkinson Disease.

Research has identified the top unmet of those with PD:
​

• More self-management;
• Better interdisciplinary collaboration between healthcare professionals;
• More time to discuss the future, and possible scenarios;
• A health care professional acting as a single point of access.

How Can Nurse On Board Help?

The oversight of a highly experienced RN Care Manager facilitates timely problem-solving, collaboration with health professionals, and offers solutions to critical gaps in community care.

Typically, the support of people with PD mainly falls upon the caregiver, and caregiver stress doubles when caring for those who are experiencing cognitive impairment or behavioural issues, which affects many people with PD. Problems that go unaddressed contribute to falls, isolation, poor motivation, and ultimately a decrease in quality of life, all of which increase caregiver burden. 

This innovative and comprehensive program offers a holistic approach to ensure that people with PD and their caregivers remain at the centre of decision-making. As their needs are identified, researched-based interventions are planned, implemented, and evaluated. This program addresses complex health issues, offering detailed and customized strategies of care that address stated needs and the progressive nature of PD. By providing the best knowledge, skill, judgement, and education that is currently available in the community, we helps to alleviate the stress and strain that are inevitable.

People with PD often have a primary goal of living in their own home for as long as possible, and with the support of a highly experienced Nurse Care Manager, this becomes more achievable.
