On Saturday, November 1, 2025, Parkinson Support & Wellness hosted an inspiring Caregiver Day at the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute, welcoming more than 65 caregivers for a morning dedicated to celebrating caregivers.
The event began with a powerful keynote from Dayna Ritchey, Program Director at the Alzheimer’s Association, who shared practical insights and encouragement for those navigating the caregiving journey.
Attendees then participated in two outstanding breakout sessions:
Top 10 Mistakes Made on the Elder Care Continuum with Dennison Keller
Caregiver Mental Health with Becca Gnuehs
A highlight of the day was the panel discussion on Relationship Stress, featuring Mark Schroder, Allan Winkler, Drew Gerwin, and Janel Knosp, who offered candid reflections and strategies for maintaining healthy relationships while caregiving.
The exhibit hall was bustling with 20 exhibitors—so popular we had to cap participation and maintain a waitlist! Each caregiver received a gift bag, and the excitement continued with door prizes exclusively for caregivers.
This event was a true celebration of caregivers—a day filled with resources, education, and appreciation.
