Recently, the Parkinson & Movement Disorder Alliance, a non-profit organization offering programming for those in the Parkinson’s disease community, surveyed over 650 people with Parkinson’s and care partners to better understand how nonmovement symptoms impact their lives and quality of life. Stop by our booth to see Pilates in action! 1770 1st St #205, Highland Park The results: 1. Parkinson’s disease affects more than motor function. Every person with Parkinson’s disease may experience different symptoms, both motor and non-movement related. In fact, nearly all (90 percent) of survey respondents experienced non-movement symptoms, such as: • Sleep problems (84 percent) • Cognitive challenges (75 percent) • Anxiety (65 percent) • Depression (55 percent) • Hallucinations (41 percent) • Delusions (24 percent) 2. Non-movement symptoms can be more challenging than motor symptoms. Of those who experienced, or reported, non-movement symptoms, 84 percent felt that they have a negative impact on quality of life, and about half rated them as more challenging or much more challenging to live with than movement symptoms. 3. Daily living is impacted by hard-to-see symptoms. Parkinson’s disease changes how patients and their care partners think about the future and cope with day-to-day living. In fact, non-movement symptoms negatively impacted the ability to: • Sleep (84 percent) • Plan for future events (76 percent) • Socialize (71 percent) • Make plans with family and friends (70 percent) • Be intimate with their partner (68 percent) • Complete household chores (68 percent) • Run errands (67 percent) When people with Parkinson’s experience non-movement symptoms, care partners are impacted, too. In fact, psychosis symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s are a strong predictor of increased care partner burden, and those with hallucinations have a 2.5-fold greater risk for nursing home admission. 4. Reporting symptoms is crucial. It’s important to report all symptoms to a doctor, as there are many different treatment options. New educational resources about the onset and impact of nonmovement symptoms of Parkinson’s can be found by visiting www. Pmdalliance.org and www.MoretoParkinsons.com.

22ndCenturyMedia.com active aging 22nd century media | October 11, 2018 | 13 Vi at The Glen: An unexpected impression of senior living There are a lot of misconceptions about retirement communities among seniors. One of the most common, and coincidentally most easily debunked, is that moving to a senior living community means giving up the independence you enjoy in a single-family home. It’s simply not true. If you want proof, ask any resident of Vi at The Glen. Somewhere in the Neighborhood of Perfect Vi at The Glen is situated in Glenview and combines all the warmth of an active, tight-knit neighborhood with all the benefits of a Life Plan Community. In addition to gorgeous apartments, Vi at The Glen offers private villa homes with the space and independence of a singlefamily residence, without responsibilities like maintenance or upkeep. The 26-acre private community also has access to exceptional dining, housekeeping and amenities like an on-site fitness center, salon and salt-filtered pool. Vi at The Glen residents Ray and Joan Racelis looked at six Life Plan Communities in three states, but from the moment they found their villa at Vi at The Glen, they knew they were home. “We were attracted to the size,” Ray said. “Our villa has a two-car garage, a spare bedroom for guests, and we still have a den, which was really important for us—it’s our communication center!” Loved ones will find it accommodating, too The ample space of villa floor plans at Vi at The Glen provides residents another very key benefit: the ability to comfortably host family and friends. “Residents who have moved into the villas told us they enjoy having the space of a singlefamily home to entertain their families,” said Ellen Nemirow, move-in manager at Vi at The Glen. And the Racelises take full advantage of the space. “We just hosted a party for the family on Father’s Day,” Joan says. “And everyone likes to come for Sunday brunches at the Vi.” The first stress-free, customizable move of your life At Vi at The Glen, residents are given the freedom to customize the finishes and spaces of their residences before they move in, with the help of the community’s Design Center. “We added a patio with manufactured bluestone and a barbecue area,” said Ray. “They landscaped it beautifully! We’re quite happy with it.” As for the move-in process itself, Vi has services to help you downsize, pack, unpack, arrange for shipping and even organize an estate sale. “We literally sat back and watched people packing and unpacking our things,” Ray said. “For older people like us, that’s a big relief. Home is where The Glen is Just ask the Racelises. Vi at The Glen offers an ideal balance of urban and suburban life, with easy access to downtown Chicago and all of its social and cultural attractions. “The villa is absolutely perfect for us,” Joan said. “Now that the move is behind us, we’re going to go to plays, use the pool and fitness center, and do things with our new friends and neighbors.” You can learn more about the villas at Vi at The Glen and the unique lifestyle they offer by calling (888) 772-0186 or visiting www.TheGlen.ViL iving.com today.
