Carers Class for Parkinson's

We are very excited to offer you, the unsung hero in our story, a class that allows you to take care of yourself, something that has probably become a luxury for you. Staying fit and promoting cognitive health is good for everyone but essential if you are a caregiver (spouse/partner). This class will include all the elements of a good training programme with the added benefit of cognitive drills that aim to improve your brain health. This also gives you a unique opportunity to connect with other caregivers who share the same challenges you do. The classes run for 60 minutes.

You will need to:

wear comfortable clothing.
wear supportive shoes such as trainers, not sandals or slippers.
bring a towel.
bring a water bottle.

I am thoroughly satisfied with the care and attention I receive as a Parkinson sufferer from the professional staff at The Park. They provide programs in a clean, modern facility with the latest knowledge and equipment. If you have been recently diagnosed with PD or have a more advanced condition, I can recommend The Park as the place to go to receive the best in individual or group physiotherapy.

I really enjoy my physio at the new Centre. Barbara and Rory have done a great job so far. I'm sure the future extensions will give us
more opportunities to improve our mobility and mental health.
I am very happy that Barbara and Tina continue to offer Parkinson's
people the support needed.

I thoroughly enjoy my exercise classes at The Park. I feel safe, secure, welcome and supported. The gym is spacious and has excellent facilities. The equipment has been specifically designed, is brand new and satisfying to use. The Park is people orientated. There is a genuine sense of community fostered in classes. For me, The Park is a happy, welcoming place where I am encouraged to expand my boundaries. John Edwards

Barb runs an amazing program, and has such passion for improving the lives of people with Parkinson’s (and their carers). We’ve been coming to Barb’s classes for a couple of years and we love it. It’s the highlight of our week. My husband loves coming here, and so do I. If I could give 100 gold stars I would.

I have attended class programs for two years and find the staff very professional, supportive and caring for the individuals and their journey. Programs suit all level of Parkinson's Disease within each class as well across the client cohort.

A wide range of equipment provides challenges for every level. Cognitive maintenance is a constant element of the classes - often causing much fun!

The premises are spotlessly clean - and air-conditioned. The location is easily accessed from the Bruce Highway and ample parking is available.

The classes typically have developed into friendly support groups.

I cannot speak highly enough of The Park - Parkinson's Centre. Barb is professional, friendly and caring as is Tina and Rory. I always feel very welcome and comfortable with all the great people in the class. I leave the class feeling motivated to keep exercising and to always try my best. The exercise room is spacious and I have everything I need to make the most out of my sessions. Good location and heaps of parking

The Park is an amazing facility with professional and friendly staff who focus on each individual client. As the name suggests The Park tailors for people with Parkinson’s. The new premises are modern and welcoming and the staff greet everyone by name. The staff are extremely caring and you feel very valued as a member of The Park Everything is scrupulously clean and hygienic. The clients often undertake regular group sessions so people get to know one other well without any expectations of more involvement than they are comfortable with. The equipment is innovative and fun to use and a lot of items used can easily be obtained cheaply for home practice which is a great bonus. The new premises are easy to access, with ample parking and the proximity of the Super IGA and excellent coffee shop are an added attraction . I highly recommend The Park to anyone with Parkinsons.

It is very accessible, with ample parking, and a has a very welcoming atmosphere on arrival. The programs are always varied, interesting, and topical.
Barbs, Rory and staff are always very positive and obviously care and committed to their clients.
I wish them all the very best for the future.

Recent visits to The Park. We were met and welcomed in by the Receptionist and felt we were not just a number. We were made to feel special.
The Park location is great just off the highway. The equipment in the Gym is unique. Barb has put alot of knowledge and time into being able to assist and help not only Parkinson’s but people with brain disease.
The premises are well designed and clean and fresh. The best thing of all for me is there is a well equipped Disability Toilet. Overall a very impressive experience.
