Abstract

Many persons with Parkinson's disease are cared for by family members. The strain of caregiving can negatively affect the health of the caregiver and affect long-term care decisions, making caregiver support a priority. This study highlights the importance of peer-led support groups for family caregivers of persons with Parkinson's disease.
