February 1, 2016
February is National Wise Health Consumer Month, a time when people are encouraged to take charge of their health. Our Aware in Care hospital kit can empower you and your loved ones to navigate a hospital stay safely. Get the kit. Know the facts. Be Aware in Care. The kit is also available in Spanish.
The Aware in Care kit includes
tools and information that will help people with Parkinson's and their families
plan for the next hospital stay.
The kit includes:
Aware in Care Bag — This black bag is large enough
to store all the materials from the Aware in Care kit as well as extra
bottles of your Parkinson's medications.
Hospital Action Plan — This 24 page booklet outlines 10
steps to take to get the best care possible during a hospital stay, and
provides additional guidance for people with special needs.
Parkinson's Disease ID Bracelet — This stainless steel, hypo-allergenic
bracelet is designed for 24/7 wear. The bracelet indicates the wearer has
Parkinson's disease, refers to the wallet card for more information, and
provides the NPF Helpline number for additional assistance.
Medical Alert Card — This card provides additional
guidance about treating a person with Parkinson's disease. It is designed to be
folded up and placed in a person's wallet or pocketbook.
Medication Form — Each kit includes a pad of
Medication Forms. The forms may be completed prior to a hospital visit and used
to provide a complete list of the medications when requested at the hospital.
Parkinson's Disease Fact Sheet — This fact sheet provides an
overview of Parkinson's and may be shared with hospital staff.
I Have Parkinson's Reminder Slips — Each kit includes a pad of
these reminder slips. Each slip has vital information about Parkinson's disease
that may be shared with every member of the care team in the hospital.
Magnet — The magnet, which says, "I
have Parkinson's and I need my medications on time, every time," is a
visual reminder of the importance of medication timing for people with
Parkinson's.
One kit per person
please. Please call 1-800-4PD-INFO (473-4636) for more information.
NPF has partnered with Parkinson Alberta to provide the Aware in
Care kit to people with Parkinson's in Canada. If you live in Canada, contact
