Overview
Our Parkinson’s Family REFRESH Weekend family members will enjoy a weekend at a selected resort to be REFRESHED, providing hope for their future. For those living with Parkinson’s, revitalization through meaningful social activities will help them face their challenges head on! Educational forums provide hope and helpful tips to best manage their condition. For Caregivers, rejuvenation through therapy and wellness workshops will lift the responsibility of caring for their loved one during this time, allowing time to focus on spiritual, physical, emotional and mental health and wellness. The number of younger people with Parkinson’s has increased; many young children and grandchildren face difficulties in their own homes. Providing a fun experience through simulation stations and interactive activities will increase knowledge and understanding about Parkinson’s.
