A new weekly café for people with Parkinson’s disease starting Oct. 7 will include coffee, mingling, speakers, exercise, tips, sing-alongs, stretching, outings to museums and talks on topics such as online social networking…
People who can move around independently may attend alone; those needing assistance must be accompanied by a caregiver or aide. Caregivers are always welcome. The plan:
Second Thursdays at Home Care of Rochester, 85 Metro Park, will include social workers leading “bright spots,” bring-your-own lunch, a physical therapy stretch, an occupational therapy tip and an afternoon speaker. Nazareth College music, dance and art therapy students are collaborating.
Register one week before each event by e-mailing café@psguny.org or calling (585) 249-9842.
