Candace, I 'm sorry your mom has been diagnosed w/ Parkinson's ; but HAVING the diagnosis is a huge step in the right direction.

You may want to check out a forum on Parkinson's. I learned a lot from one when my Dad was diagnosed w/ diabetes. All sorts of medical coverage kicked in, for things like having his toe nails clipped every 9 weeks and Medicare pays for it 100%. The toenails won't be the case for Parkingson's, but you never know what may services may now be available for your mom.
