Rob Costello, President of Home Instead Care Services in Palm Desert, announced his gratitude to Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) with a surprise check for $4,500. As a new member of PRO’s Wellness Village, he has witnessed the incredible support the team at PRO provides to those who are caring for and living with Parkinson’s disease.

“We are so impressed with Rob’s passion to help others and make a difference in the community. Home Instead is a fairly new member of PRO’s Wellness Village which is a virtual, vetted, video-driven resource directory of service providers and products to improve quality of life for people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers. We are delighted to refer our constituents to them.” said Jo Rosen, Founder and President of PRO.

PRO will use these funds to help facilitate their Grief Group which is open to people with Parkinson’s, Caregivers and Friends of the Community. The groups are facilitated by End of Life Doula Glendon Geikie, MSW, IELDA, CGCS through an exploration of anticipatory grief and loss, especially the living loss of movement, partnership, independence, life plans, and eternal loss.

From the family home to senior communities to rehab facilities and beyond, they are able to bring the care aging loved ones need to wherever they call home.
