Minds in Motion

The Parkside Centre is partnering again with the
Socie te 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
