Adaptive Exercise
Spaulding Adaptive Sports Centers (SASC) are open to all individuals in the community who are living with disabilities.
Every Monday, at Heritage Barn in Brewster, between 10 and 3PM, you will be able to attend classes that will help you stay fit and help your mind as well, by increasing circulation and connecting to past fun time.
Spaulding Rehabilitation is offering a unique program called: Adaptive Sport. It allows people with disabilities or aging to adapt to modified exercise and activities to stay active and engaged.
Staying active in some form is one of the Secrets of Cognitive Well-being. It’s an individual connection, as one needs to find their groove of enthusiasm.
Oasis found that this program was very much in line with their approach and partnered with the program to offer a convenient location for its members.
To join the program please register with Spaulding. This is an important step to find the best fit for you.
Discussion
A program based on a very thought full book by Richard Rohr.
In Falling Upward, Fr. Richard Rohr seeks to help readers understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show them that those who have fallen, failed, or “gone down” are the only ones who understand “up.” Most of us tend to think of the second half of life as largely about getting old, dealing with health issues, and letting go of life, but the whole thesis of this book is exactly the opposite. What looks like falling down can largely be experienced as “falling upward.” In fact, it is not a loss but somehow actually a gain, as we have all seen with elders who have come to their fullness.

COVID in Massachussets
  Dear Friends and Colleagues, Here on Cape Cod we’ve been faring quite well during the recent upswing in COVID-19 infections across the Commonwealth and the rest of the country. In order to keep our infection rate in check, it is imperative that we continue to practice safety measures in the weeks and months to come. Social distancing, wearing a mask, handwashing and staying home when possible is still important! Last week, Gov. Baker announced new, state-wide orders in response to a surge in cases of COVID-19 here in Massachusetts. The number of new cases, hospitalizations, including ICU hospitalizations, have risen dramatically in the last 9 weeks. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reports that 80 percent of new COVID-19 cases are mainly adults under the age of 35 and traced to household exposures and small indoor gatherings. Here are the latest statewide orders that went into effect on Friday, November 6th: 1. Updated mask order. All persons are now required to wear face-coverings in all public places, even where they are able to maintain 6 feet of distance from others. The order makes an exception for residents who cannot wear a face-covering due to a medical or disabling condition, but allows employers to require employees to provide proof of such a condition. 2. Indoor gatherings. Gathering sizes in private residences (homes, apartments, etc.) will be reduced from 25 to 10, and outdoor events will be reduced from 50 to 25. The limit on gatherings held in public spaces and at event venues remains the same. Requires that all gatherings (regardless of size or location) must end and disperse by 9:30 PM. 3. Statewide stay-at-home advisory has been issued between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am. Exclusions including leaving home to go to work or school, or for essential needs such as emergency medical care, grocery store or pharmacy, picking up take-out food, or receiving deliveries. The advisory includes avoiding gatherings in the home with anybody outside of your household. 4. Restaurants will be required to cease in-person dining by 9:30 p.m., although takeout or delivery of food can continue. 5. Liquor vendors will be required to cease alcohol sales at 9:30 p.m. 6. Indoor entertainment venues will also be required to close at 9:30 pm. 7. The Massachusetts Travel Order is still in effect and includes a 14-day quarantine requirement for travelers arriving in MA from MOST states. To read about the travel order, and states included, visit https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-travel-order 8. The MA Dept. of Public Health will use automated calls and text messages to reach residents with updated information about COVID-19 and the new statewide advisories.
