Staying Active Mind & Body
Supporting a Healthy Cognitive, Physical, and Social lifestyle where Independence is encouraged, and family is an integral part of wellness.
Encouraging Independence Through Activities
Staying active is important at every age, but it’s particularly important for seniors. During the aging process our ability to walk, move, and balance all diminish. This can make it more challenging for seniors to tackle normal, everyday activities.
As a result, quality of life and independence may suffer. That’s why it’s key to include a variety of physical activities into daily life.
While physical exercise is essential, there's more to leading a healthy, active lifestyle as a senior which include social gatherings and other types of enrichment programs.
