Wellness

Persons who live with Alzheimer's Disease, stroke, Parkinson’s or other disabling conditions have the same health problems and emotional needs as everybody else and derive the same benefits from a regular exercise program as their peers. They can derive a benefit that is unique to their situation: the ability to gain skill and show regular improvement in physical fitness at a time when they are losing skills in other arenas of life. Such a tangible gain can be a tremendous source of pride, both for the person with Alzheimer's and for his or her caregivers. The participants interact with each other competitively and supportively. The programs are multileveled and work within an individual participant’s needs and abilities to stay active and improve skills. Our goal is to offer something for everyone, so we are able to involve as many individuals as possible.
