Parkinson’s Pointe recognizes the importance of the Care Partner role in the ability to live successfully with Parkinson’s. Our philosophy is that Care Partners deserve as much support as their People with Parkinson’s. We welcome Care Partners to all of our programming including all exercise classes, educational sessions and community events. We also provide Care Partner specific services to help you along YOUR journey with Parkinson’s.
Parkinson’s Pointe is unique due to three key elements underlying the program design.
- Self efficacy
- High intensity, complex exercise
- Access to supportive community
Carepartner Coffee and Connect
On the 4th Friday of every month, we host a special Coffee and Connect just for Care Partners. The Coffee is scheduled at the same time as several fitness classes for those who are unable to leave their loved one at home alone. Please join us to meet other Care Partners in our community and share in your journeys together.
Peer to Peer Mentorship
Our Pathfinder Peer Mentorship program has grown to include mentors for Care Partners. If you are looking for support from someone who has walked or is walking your path, reach out and we will work to partner you with a mentor. If you believe that you have capacity to help support others, we would love to consider you for our team of mentors!
Care Partner Coaching
Parkinson’s Pointe has partnered with Julie Bobbitt of Fusion Wellness Coaching to provide personalized coaching for those in need of guidance on how to balance the needs of their partners and their own priorities. From Julie – “As a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I would be delighted to partner with you to help you reach your health & wellness goals and help you live your healthiest life!”.
