Many people believe that exercise is for the young, but regular exercise can have life-changing benefits for seniors as well. Even a small amount of activity each day can make a huge difference in your overall physical and mental health.
The key to staying healthy is to find a community that has a variety of senior living fitness and wellness programs.
To help you make the right decision, we’ve compiled this guide of things you can expect here at Conservatory Senior Living. Continue ready to learn all about what you’ll experience when you join our thriving community!
On-Site Health Screenings
Before you begin any kind of new activity, it’s important to know your current state of health. This will help you decide which exercises are suitable for you, and which ones you should avoid. This careful approach will help ensure that you have positive impacts on your general health.
Plus, you can’t have good wellness programs for seniors if you don’t know basic information such as blood pressure and sight issues. Our screenings will monitor and record this information so you can keep close tabs on any changes.
Trained Staff
Attempting exercises can be frightening at first. If you’re only beginning your journey to better health, this fear can prevent you from joining senior fitness programs at all. Without any exercise, you’ll be more prone to excess stress, depression, or worsening health conditions.
That’s why we ensure our staff has the right training to help every member of our community remain safe and steady through all fitness programs.
The staff will be there in case of a fall or accident. They have the expertise to get you the help you need as soon as possible.
You’ll get to focus on the enjoyment of your chosen activity rather than worry about any potential problems!
Guided Exercises
Active senior living means trying new things until you find the fitness regimen that works for you. Trying new exercises on your own can be detrimental. You might perform the exercise incorrectly and end up injuring yourself in the process.
It’s vital to have someone with the right training nearby to help show you how to do the exercise safely. The good news is that our staff can guide you through the motions so you keep good form and consistency during your exercises.
Once you have the basics down, it’s much safer to try them on your own. If you ever feel like doing extra activities in your apartment, for instance, you’ll have the forms down already.
Make sure your chosen assisted living residence trains its staff to aid in many forms of exercise. It’s the best way to ensure your safety and give you better results.
Personalized Plan
Each member of a community is a unique individual. They have differing circumstances and requirements. This means a one-size-fits-all approach simply won’t work for everyone.
At Conservatory Senior Living, we make sure to focus on this aspect of our community. When coming up with elderly exercise plans, we take into consideration each member’s needs and desires. We juggle your personal goals with your health requirements until we create a plan that makes you happy and drives you closer to your desired outcome.
A personalized plan doesn’t mean you’ll be forced to do exercises and fitness activities on your own. Working together with your community toward a common goal is a great motivator. We want our whole community to be as healthy as possible, so we guarantee plenty of social activities to enjoy.
Variety of Aerobics
Many people don’t find much fun in standard exercise. The biggest problem with this is that, without an element of fun, it’s much harder to encourage people to participate in fitness programs.
To help give seniors more reason to join, it’s essential to have exciting and creative outlets.
Activities such as dancing, yoga, and water aerobics, bring an entertaining quality to exercising. You’ll get to enjoy yourself to the fullest knowing you’re getting some exercise while grooving to an energetic song.
Plus, many aerobics are low-impact, making them a great choice for seniors of all physical capabilities.
Gourmet Healthy Meal Choices
Remaining fit requires a meal plan to match your needs and goals. This is why our staff includes a trained culinary team. Every day they prepare meals that are both healthy and delicious.
The dining area functions much like a 5-star restaurant. Once you’re seated, staff will come take care of you. They’ll place the orders and bring the food to you, as well as ensure that you like what arrives.
This gives you plenty of time and energy to enjoy the food and company surrounding you. With gourmet dishes available at every meal, you’ll never grow bored with your culinary options!
Community Involvement
Senior health and wellness is one of our greatest concerns here at Conservatory Senior Living. To aid all members of our community to live a healthier life, we make sure to host outings and events.
This gives everyone in the community a chance to interact and move around. Something as simple as going on a shopping trip can be enough to get your blood pumping. It’s a relaxing way to get some exercise in without feeling as though you’re putting in any effort.
We also host parties, dances, and game nights so you’ll get all the mental and physical excitement you need for a healthy retirement.
