April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, a time to recognize the more than 90,000 Americans diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) each year and to amplify the need for specialized, expert-driven care. As the first homecare provider in the U.S. to achieve Certified Parkinson’s Disease Care (CPDC) Accreditation through PMD Alliance and a designated Community Partner in Parkinson’s Care (CPPC) through the Parkinson’s Foundation, Angels on Call is redefining what exceptional Parkinson’s homecare looks like.
At Angels on Call, we are not just participating in the future of Parkinson’s care — we are leading it. Through our Pathways to Power™ Program, CPDC Advocates, and CPPC Site Champions, we provide the most advanced, evidence-based care available for individuals with Parkinson’s and movement disorders.
Parkinson’s Disease and the Need for Specialized Care
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, cognition, and daily living. With over 90,000 new diagnoses in the U.S. each year, families often struggle to find care that truly understands the complexities of Parkinson’s. Many traditional homecare agencies provide generalized assistance, but Parkinson’s requires highly specialized care that considers:
✔ Mobility Challenges – Fall prevention, safe transfers, and targeted exercises
✔ Medication Timing – Strict adherence to medication schedules to optimize symptom control
✔ Cognitive Changes – Addressing Parkinson’s-related dementia and memory loss
✔ Speech & Swallowing Support – Monitoring for speech and swallowing difficulties that affect nutrition and safety
This is where Angels on Call makes a difference.
Raising the Bar With CPDC Accreditation and CPPC Site Champions
At Angels on Call, our commitment to excellence is validated by our dual recognition in specialized Parkinson’s care:
🏆 Certified Parkinson’s Disease Care (CPDC) Accreditation – PMD Alliance
- A nationally recognized accreditation for expert-level Parkinson’s care
- Requires rigorous staff training in Parkinson’s-specific care strategies
- Four CPDC Advocates at Angels on Call who serve as trainers, educators, and care leaders
- Access to PMD Alliance’s exclusive live and on-demand educational programs for continued learning
🏆 Community Partners in Parkinson’s Care (CPPC) – Parkinson’s Foundation (Specialized Membership, Not an Accreditation)

- Two CPPC Site Champions leading the charge at Angels on Call
- Ongoing coaching and education from nationally recognized Parkinson’s experts
