In this episode of Parkinson’s EmPower Talks, our guest is Ruth Busalacchi, Owner and President of Synergy HomeCare.
“Parkinson’s doesn’t stay the same. Neither should care. Today, we’re talking about how home care adapts over time—and how families can plan proactively instead of reacting in crisis.”
Ruth’s EmPowering message is, “Avoid the ‘cross your finger’ plan. Be proactive: get all the information you can—ask your friends, go online, reach out to Wisconsin Parkinson Association, and get all of those resources in your back pocket. Then have a conversation with your family: here are my thoughts in the moment; here’s what I want to do. It’s a hard conversation to have, but then you are less likely to be reactive and more likely to be proactive.”
