Our monthly meeting is Led by a certified facilitator, the group fosters open discussions where attendees can share experiences, receive encouragement, and connect with others facing similar challenges. Helpful tips, resources, and quarterly educational speakers offer valuable guidance and practical tools to improve quality of life. Each month, on the 1st Monday of the month at 2:00PM, the group welcomes new members, many of whom are newly diagnosed, creating a welcoming environment for both ongoing support and often the first steps of the Parkinson’s journey.
PARK & REC is an evidence-based weekday recreational therapy and exercise program
For individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease, this 10-week program addresses both motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, including mobility, posture, balance, strength, anxiety, depression, speech volume, etc. This program uniquely combines exercise and recreation-based modalities to combat PD symptoms, in which the participants have the autonomy to choose what series they are most interested in. This person-centered approach allows participants to select from a variety of therapeutic exercises and activities, such as, yoga, tai chi, adaptive sport, expressive therapies, art, dance, music/singing, outdoor cycling, passive/active games, and team building activities. This person-centered program is driven by the participants’ needs, interests, and goals truly putting the “fun” in functional. We offer this on Mondays at 3:00PM and the higher intensity “Boot Camp” version on Wednesdays at 3:00PM
There are limited spaces and pre-assessments are required prior to attending. Program fee of $150 (with a $30, 1 time registration fee if you are new to Aloha programs.) To register, fill out online form below and note Park N Rec March.

Understanding Hospice and Palliative Care—Before You Need It April 13th 10:30AM
Join us for an informative session designed to help you better understand hospice and palliative care, including their purpose, key differences, and how to find local providers. We’ll also discuss what to expect when working with these services, along with important emotional and legal considerations.
Presented by Cornerstone Hospice
Families, caregivers and professionals can reach a deeper level of understanding by spending 90 minutes “walking in their care recipients or clients shoes.” Activities mimic what it is like to feel confused, frustrated, isolated and more. Participants will gain compassion and empathy.
These simulation exercises help participants understand age-related health challenges faced by the older people they serve. These include neuropathy, hearing loss, vision loss, language and cognitive impairment, mobility and balance. Join us as we share experiences with peers to help you process lessons learned in a meaningful, memorable way. What is it like to live every day as an older adult facing one or more common, age-related health challenges? During the engaging, active learning sessions, participants break into small groups for simulation exercises designed to provide insight into this important question. After the “hands-on” experiences, they gather to discuss how such challenges may impact an elder’s autonomy and ability to live independently.
