Wellness Class for People with Dementia and Loved Ones

About this event

Mystic Valley Aging Services (MVAS) presents Resiliency in Motion, an active wellness class for people living with dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease and their family caregivers.

MVAS developed this six-session class to strengthen both physical health and emotional well-being. Resiliency in Motion will be led by Coach Julio Salado, a certified fitness professional, alongside dementia-trained support staff from Mystic Valley Aging Services.

Resiliency in Motion will be offered Thursdays, Nov. 5 through Dec. 17, at noon, at Malden Senior Center, 7 Washington St. There is no cost to attend and participants do not need to live in Malden. To register, contact Paula Buccilli at pbuccilli@mves.org or 781-388-2319. (No class on Thanksgiving.)

Each session will begin with separate warm-up activities for caregivers and participants before coming together for a joint class designed to build balance, strength, mobility, and confidence. This approach provides caregivers with peer support while creating opportunities for shared connection.

Resiliency in Motion combines evidence-based activity with dementia support, promoting healthy aging and social engagement for people living with dementia and those who care for them. This program is supported by a grant from the I’m Still Here Foundation.
