The meeting is open to anyone living with or caring for someone with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of memory loss. The group will meet at 10:30 a.m. at the senior living community, at 3030 Park Ave. on the Bridgeport-Fairfield town line. This month’s support group will be led by Bill Bodin, an account manager from Lundbeck Pharmaceuticals specializing in neurological movement disorders. He will focus his discussion on the symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, a form of low blood pressure that causes dizziness when standing up after a sustained period of rest. Bodin will also discuss treatment options available to individuals living with neurological disorders.
“The Watermark is committed to being a thought-leader in the field of movement disorders and memory care,” said Connie Haworth, executive director at The Watermark at 3030 Park. “Our monthly Parkinson’s Support Group meetings support this mission by connecting caregivers and their loved ones with the information and resources they need to live more comfortable, satisfying lives.”
The Watermark at 3030 Park also offers a bi-weekly Parkinson’s fitness class on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:45 p.m. The class, led by The Watermark’s fitness director Cindy McGuire, consists of balance and strengthening exercises that focus on the needs of those living with Parkinson’s. Due to a limited number of spaces, reservations and a small participation fee are required for the fitness class. For more information or to RSVP for the fitness class, please contact Cindy McGuire at 203-373-6108. To RSVP for the Parkinson’s Support Group, contact Marlane Argianas at 203-373-6288.
