West Side Support Group

Parkinson’s is too hard to do alone—and here, you don’t have to.
At Westside, we walk this journey together with hope, humor, and heart. 
Whether you’re living with Parkinson’s or caring for someone who is, 
you’ll find encouragement, connection, and a place to belong.
Together, we share, grow, and lift each other up—one step at a time.

What we're all about

At Westside, we come together to share what matters—our experiences, our challenges, and the everyday joys that make life meaningful. Our meetings are shaped by the real concerns we face living with Parkinson’s, and the practical ways we adapt, support one 
another, and keep moving forward. We learn from experts, swap tips and stories, and enjoy potlucks, outings, and celebrations. We cheer each other on, share what works  (and what doesn’t), and find strength in community.

Better today than I was yesterday. Better tomorrow than I am right now. That’s the spirit we live by—together.

Exercise and Voice Classes

Each week we provide 11 different exercise and voice classes at 3 different challenge levels to ensure each person gets what they need within a group setting.  We have a team of specially trained Physical and Speech therapists coaching Rock Steady boxing, Loud Crowd, Sing Out Loud, Kazoo Choir, Yoga and functional movement training called PWR Moves.

Education and Activities

We also have educational support group meetings once a month and a Ladies Living with Parkinson’s group as well.  Potlucks and community events such as our annual Pints for Parkinson’s and family and friends beach walk are favorites.  We are partnered with STARS rehab and provide one on one Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy services.
