Summary

Advanced Parkinson's Disease is a debilitating, costly, and understudied condition. Improving access to comprehensive, specialized, in-home patient care and caregiver support offers the potential to minimize the downward spiral of morbidity and preventable healthcare utilization. The aim of this study is to test whether and to what degree an interdisciplinary home visit program, with and without peer mentoring for caregivers, will improve patient- and caregiver-reported outcomes and reduce healthcare costs when compared with usual care in advanced Parkinson's Disease.
