Intervention Logistics	Frustrations	‘Her hip started hurting during the exercises but instructors had her sit down and she was still included in what everyone else was doing. That was nice.’ (Susan, Group A, week 6)
		‘I had trouble understanding where the classes in the study were heading, why we were doing what we were doing. Toward the end I saw how everything was coming together to help us move in a way to make daily living easier. I don’t know if I just didn’t get it until later, or if the ‘end’ goal could have been stated earlier on to help me understand why we were doing what we were doing. That knowledge might have reduced some frustration I was having.’ (Susan, Group A, letter of support)
		‘The follow up class on Thursday mornings is very different for me. There is no pressure on me (I put none on myself). It is only once a week, and it is closer to home, a 10 minute drive instead of a 30 minute drive. And now I see what the class is doing for us, how it is helping in a real and important way. It is very different than an ‘exercise’ class. This is an important class where we practice and learn how to move our bodies in a supportive way during a time in life where mom is less able to move and function with ease.’ (Susan, Group A and Community Class, letter of support)
		‘My hope is that once PLIÉ is over I have my two mornings free to return to my own exercise routine. I will feel more motivated to do Paired routines. For now he is getting more exercise than I am!’ (Linda, Group A, week 6)
	Suggestions	‘Think he might benefit from addition of some stretches and light weights or bands.’ (Linda, Group A, week 2)
		‘It would be wonderful if there were a way for us to practice the movements from home with videos or other supportive materials. Also some kind of a forum where care partners could ask specific questions when a need arises. We would benefit from the instructor answers as well as from other care partners’ tips as we all have developed tricks to fit unexpected situations. Such a wealth of knowledge could be easily shared.’ (Patricia, Community Class, letter of support)
	Overall Satisfaction	‘I would like to thank you all for having crossed the path of our lives and helping others like my husband and myself. We will owe you until the end. There aren’t many options available in the community. We are very thankful to be able to participate in the Paired PLIÉ program.’ (Patricia, Community Class, letter of support)
		‘PLIÉ is a valuable tool that, I think, has contributed to his sense of well-being, functionality and contentment in whatever dimension his mind is on a given day. And when he is safe and able to navigate the world around him at his own pace, I am also more at peace. … PLIÉ directly addresses functioning, relaxation techniques and quality of life incorporating music and socialization. A program that produces results, is fun, and allows a person to retain his/her dignity, gets my support.’ (Linda, Group A, letter of support)
