Minds in Motion

The Parkside Centre is partnering again with the Societe Alzheimer Society Sudbury-Manitoulin to present Minds in Motion®. The program unfolds to laughter and chatter, with new friendships forming and stories being shared. This program is a wonderful way for people with memory problems and their care partner to have fun together and establish new friendships with others living the same experiences. Minds in Motion® incorporates physical activity and mental stimulation. It’s for people with early to mid-stage signs of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias and their care partners. For the person with dementia: – Improved balance, mobility, flexibility, and alertness – Increased confidence, and comfort with their own circumstance – Mutual support from others facing similar experiences For the care partners, it’s an opportunity to focus on their own health, and have fun with their partner. Other benefits include: – Seeing the person they are caring for enjoying themselves – Mutual support and learning from other care partners – All participants can benefit from: sharpened mental functioning, sometimes lasting 2-3 days. – Increased sense of social participation Please contact Miguel Cheff at the Alzheimer Society to Register – (705) 524-2024 Ext 266.
