Exercise is extremely important for Parkinsons, by the way! She may feel better if she keeps up with it with some of these group classes.

I'm not local but Rock Steady Boxing is a group class that's fun and that's offered all over. https://rocksteadyboxing.org/ It's exercising but the one I know about is pretty social/friendly like Dance for PD.

Also has she done LSVT Loud for her voice? There's also LSVT BIG physical therapy.

Thank you for these suggestions!

We love the Dance for PD. She hasn't been very good about going lately. I need to get her back into the routine.

A friend’s husband did very well with this (or a similar dance program) https://www.washingtonballet.org/dance-for-pd/

Senior day center/care. See if they will let her visit and match her up with some potential friends.

Looking for advice or suggestions. My mom is 77 and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 10 years ago. She moved in with my sister after my dad passed away last year. They both live in my neighborhood, so I see them daily. Her health has been declining—she’s "freezing" more often, speaks very softly, and often struggles to finish sentences or express her thoughts. I’m starting to worry about her mental/emotional well-being. She doesn’t show much interest in doing activities or exercising. Most of her friends live an hour away, and although they try to stay in touch, they seem to be growing apart, as her friends are much healthier and have families and busy lives. We’ve tried introducing her to people in our neighborhood, but it’s hard for her to connect—she speaks very quietly and often keeps her eyes closed, which makes conversation challenging.

I’m just really worried she might be depressed and isolated. Are there any senior-focused social groups, programs, or centers you’ve found helpful in similar situations? We’re in NoVa. I’d love to hear what’s worked for others.
