Review for PAN Foundation, Washington, DC, USA
I am a caregiver for my husband who has Parkinson's Disease. It has been a challenge since his diagnosis 8 years ago. At first he was just a little slow walking, but over these past 7 1/2 years, it has become increasingly more difficult to find the correct medications and the dosages needed. We went to 3 different Neurologists before we found one right in our back door that convinced us to try the Duopa Pump for his medication. Very expensive.
Medicare/BCBS only covers a portion of the medication and the equipment, so we went to PAN for assistance. It took me about 20 mins to fill out the application and we received the grant in just a couple of days. We have had the pump now for about 1 month and it has really made a big difference to us. My husband can be a little more active, does not have to take oral meds 5-6 x day and I feel much better with him on the pump.
Thank you PAN for such wonderful assistance and service!
