Exercise for Seniors to Help the Mind and Body

When our minds are stimulated, we feel more alive and happy about each day. The staff at Suzanne Elise Assisted Living Community supports this belief by offering exercise for seniors in all forms.

Scientists report that exercising the mind and body can improve a senior’s mental fitness, and those who undertake ongoing intellectual and physical activities can minimize the onset of dementia. Also the National Institute on Aging found that seniors who regularly read, played music or listened to news-talk radio reduced their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

The key to exercising our minds is performing multiple mental activities such as the activities offered at Suzanne Elise Assisted Living Community.

Personalized Exercise for Seniors

Regular exercise for seniors can help us stay strong and experience less pain. We may even find it easier to move and discover increased energy levels.

Because strength and balance levels vary, Suzanne Elise tailors its exercise for seniors programs to suit each resident, so they can comfortably participate. Choices may include cardiovascular exercises—such as walking—to strengthen the heart and improve other health conditions; or strength exercises for seniors, in a standing or sitting position, to help seniors be more functionally stable—and avoid slips and falls.

Spiritual Life for Seniors

Avamere Family of Companies believes one's religious practices are an individual matter and are honored by our staff. We do plan activities that nurture the spirit and draw both our residents and their families together for special religious programs.

So look to us for encouragement and exercise for seniors programs.
