The holiday season is all about coming together, spreading joy, and celebrating the bonds that keep us connected—and that’s exactly what we experienced at the annual holiday luncheon with the St. Charles County Parkinson’s Support Group through the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA).

Our very own Mike and Courtney joined Amanda, who leads the group, for an afternoon brimming with festive spirit. From lively singalongs to exciting raffle prizes, the event was a heartwarming reminder of the power of community. Group members and their loved ones shared laughter, cheer, and moments of togetherness that truly embody the holiday spirit.

These gatherings are more than just celebrations—they’re an opportunity to provide support, encouragement, and connection for those navigating Parkinson’s disease. The APDA Support Groups, like the St. Charles County group, are offered at no cost to individuals living with Parkinson’s and their caregivers or family members.

If you or someone you know could benefit from the support and camaraderie of a group like this, consider exploring the APDA’s resources. Their support groups are a lifeline, providing a safe and welcoming space to share experiences and learn from one another.

Assistance Home Care is proud to support and promote the Mission of the APDA and support their annual events like the 2024 APDA Optimism Walk. To find a support group near you or learn more about the APDA’s offerings, visit their website: APDA Support Groups.

As we reflect on this joyful day, we’re reminded of the importance of community, compassion, and connection. Here’s to a season of spreading cheer and making meaningful memories!
