The vision
Today, care is scattered. Nowhere brings it all together in one place.
A single destination where people with Parkinson's, their families and carers from around the world can come for world-class specialist care, rehabilitation and wellbeing, in a warm, accessible setting, alongside a research centre advancing treatment.
What it brings together
Four things, in one place, for the first time.
Specialist clinical care
Movement-disorder specialists, nurses and therapists.
Rehabilitation and wellbeing
Exercise, physiotherapy, speech, nutrition and mental health.
Research
Clinical studies with university and charity partners.
A place to stay
Homes designed for people with Parkinson's, their families and carers.
Why now
Not another resort: a destination the world needs.
A rare chance for a forward-looking partner to create something genuinely new, of international standing and lasting purpose.
The founder
Rupert Williams
Rupert lives with Parkinson's and understands first-hand what people need. He brings a background in property and finance, and twenty-five years of doing business in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
