Not everyone is an appropriate client. We do limit the number of clients we work with at any one time as each client’s needs are different.
If we believe you are an appropriate candidate to work with our Board Certified Patient Advocate (BCPA), and you agree you are ready to move forward, you will sign an Agreement and pay a one-time non-refundable fee of $395.00. This will cover the first two months of a minimum of one hour each for you to connect virtually on Zoom with your Patient Advocate Consultant.
At the end of the second month, if you decide to continue working with your consultant, a one-hour fee of $150.00 will be due for the next month’s consulting. A recurring $150.00 monthly invoice will be submitted to you through Paypal in advance of each successive month we work together. Payment is due in advance of each upcoming month’s consulting. You can decide to stop working with your consultant at any time, however, 30-day’s notice is required if you decide you want to cease working with your consultant.
The first two months we work with you, we will meet on Zoom for a minimum of one hour each month. At that time, we will assess the status of the person with Parkinson’s (pwps), and you will arrange to provide to us a number of documents we require. We will then determine the most pressing issues to be addressed for you or your loved one and discuss next steps.
We require the initial one-time non-refundable fee of $395 which covers the first two month’s consulting. After that, the minimum number of hours required is one hour per month at $150.00 on a month-to-month basis.
Yes.
If my parent, spouse, or family member who lives in Kentucky has Parkinson’s and I live in another area or state, can you work with both of us?
If your family member lives within our range of service, we can provide our Parkinson Patient Advocate to them in person. Or, the alternative option can be to work with both of you by phone, email, and Zoom. In every case, the situation and location will be evaluated before we work together.
Can you work with me if I don’t live near you?
Yes. We can work with our clients by phone, email, and if you would like, by Zoom. We do not have to be face-to-face to help you with many aspects of learning about the disease and dealing with daily challenges.
Do you work with families if their loved one who has Parkinson’s disease doesn’t want to be involved?
Yes. Sometimes family members seek out someone who can help them with their loved one who has Parkinson’s disease. Many individuals with this disease have mood disorders or are experiencing denial. A Parkinson Patient Advocate can help your family understand what is happening to your loved one and can give you guidance on what your options are and how to prepare for the future.
Do you work with individuals who have Parkinson’s disease even if they do not have family involved?
Yes. You do not have to have your family involved if you prefer not to, although we do recommend working with family members whenever possible. If you have a good friend who is helping or caring for you, he/she can also be included if you would like.
