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.

COMMUNITY FORUMS
Browse and post across topics that matter most: Newly Diagnosed, Daily Living Tips, Symptoms and Treatment, Exercise and Movement, Caregiver Corner, Emotional Wellbeing, Research and News, and more.

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.

MEDICATION REMINDERS
Set reminders for your Parkinson's medications so you never miss a dose.

BUILT FOR PARKINSON'S
Polly's Place includes a Simplified Mode designed specifically for people with tremors or cognitive changes — larger buttons, bigger text, and cleaner screens throughout the app.

WHO IS THIS FOR
People living with Parkinson's disease, caregivers and care partners, family members and friends, and healthcare professionals.
