Living Well With Parkinson’s: An Educational Event at East Ridge Village
At East Ridge Village at Cutler Bay, supporting resident wellness goes far beyond our campus. We are proud to host educational events that empower older adults and their families with knowledge, resources, and confidence when navigating health challenges.
Recently, we welcomed Jennifer and Sofia from the Parkinson’s Foundation for an informative and inspiring presentation focused on Living Well With Parkinson’s.
Understanding Parkinson’s: What Families Need to Know
During the presentation, guests learned about:
-The causes of Parkinson’s disease and how it affects the brain and body
–Early signs and symptoms to watch for in loved ones
-What individuals and families should know when facing a diagnosis
-How proactive lifestyle choices can help support balance, stability, and quality of life
Jennifer shared expert insights in a clear, approachable way, helping attendees better understand both the physical and emotional aspects of Parkinson’s. The discussion emphasized that while Parkinson’s is a complex condition, education and early awareness can make a meaningful difference.
Valuable Resources and Support
A key highlight of the event was the focus on available resources. Guests were introduced to support services, educational tools, and treatment options offered through the Parkinson’s Foundation, reinforcing that families do not have to navigate this journey alone.
The presentation sparked thoughtful questions from attendees, leading to engaging conversations and deeper understanding. Guests left feeling informed, reassured, and better equipped to support themselves or their loved ones.
