Dear Team,

I am referring Mr. George Miller, a 70-year-old gentleman with Parkinson’s Disease, for occupational therapy support.

Mr. Miller experiences tremors that affect dressing and feeding. His wife is his primary caregiver, but she is struggling with the stress of his increasing needs.

I recommend adaptive equipment such as button hooks and specialized cutlery, along with caregiver education to ease her burden.

Your guidance will help improve Mr. Miller’s independence and overall family well-being.

Yours sincerely,
Occupational Therapist
