Brief Summary:
Advanced Parkinson's Disease is a debilitating, costly, and understudied condition. Improving access to comprehensive, specialized, in-home patient care and caregiver support offers the potential to minimize the downward spiral of morbidity and preventable healthcare utilization. The aim of this study is to test whether and to what degree an interdisciplinary home visit program, with and without peer mentoring for caregivers, will improve patient- and caregiver-reported outcomes and reduce healthcare costs when compared with usual care in advanced Parkinson's Disease.
Detailed Description:
This interdisciplinary home visit program consists of 4 visits to patients' homes over the course of one year from a team of a movement disorders doctor, a nurse, a research coordinator, and a social worker. The team will come to a patient's home and assess the needs of both the patient and caregiver, and connect the patient with any needed services. These visits can replace or be in addition to seeing another movement disorders doctor.
As part of this study, not only would the patient receive home visits, but his/her caregiver would be paired with another caregiver from the community with lots of experience caring for someone with PD whose loved one may have passed away, but who volunteers to serve as a mentor. Current caregivers who enroll in the study will be asked to speak to their mentor once a week over a course of 4 months. These meetings can take place in person, by phone, or through video chat on an iPad that will be provided by our study team.
The information collected from the study participants will be compared to data available in the National Parkinson's Foundation's Parkinson's Outcome Project. The data will be matched according to age, gender, and disease severity.
