Polly's Place

Polly's Place is a free peer support community built for people living with Parkinson's disease, their caregivers, family members, and healthcare professionals.

Named in memory of Polly Ann Stewart, who lived with Parkinson's for over twenty years, this app was built to be the community she never had — a place where no one has to face Parkinson's alone.

PEER MATCHING

Polly's Place connects you with people who truly understand your journey. Our matching system pairs users based on diagnosis stage, age at diagnosis, primary symptoms, current medications, caregiver role, shared doctors, exercise types, and more — so your connections are genuinely meaningful, not just random.

RESOURCE LIBRARY

Read articles written and reviewed by medical professionals and administrators, covering topics like medications, exercise, nutrition, speech, mental health, and caregiving. Every article links to its original sources.

PRIVATE MESSAGING

Message your matches and connections directly and privately.

BUILT FOR PARKINSON'S
