Wellness Classes

The idea of “healthy aging” and "fearless aging" is not a new concept. Over the past several years, it has been growing in popularity enormously. With more baby boomers hitting retirement age every day, and average life expectancy also on the rise, our entire staff is dedicated to helping seniors achieve and maintain healthyt lifestyles through education and promotion of wellness programs. Healthy Aging is a primary focus of the SeniorAge program.

Wellness is the act of making healthy choices that lead to a fulfilling lifestyle. SeniorAge Senior Activity Centers help older adults achieve their goals through a variety of classes and programs.  For example, falls prevention can be achieved through our Matter of Balance classes and pain management through CDSME and PACE arthritis exercise classes.  

If you are interested in working towards a better lifestyle, or looking to maintain your daily regimen, inquire at your local Senior Activity Center about the wellness programs that might benefit you. 

 

Here's What Our Particiants are Saying:

Francis used to sleep in her recliner chair due to painful arthritis that made it next to impossible to get in and out of bed. Since participating in Matter of Balance classes, she is now able to sleep comfortably in her own bed.        ~ Francis G.

Marie is just shy of 96 years old and has been active in her senior center for over 20 years. Today, she participates in a variety of wellness programs and says they help motivate her to stay active and continue exercising at home, too.”        ~ Marie D.

Sylvia now has her life back thanks to her participation in wellness progams offered at her senior center.  Her pedometer inspires her to do more every single day and her hopes of achieving better health, body, and mind  have finally come true. “I can now sit up straight without my spine going numb; I have better endurance and a lot less stress,” she says.  Sylvia is devoted to her mother who has Alzheimer’s and lives in a nursing home, but thanks to her mom’s encouragement, she now takes time for herself and feels no guilt doing it.  “I’m feeling better every single day and have less pain caused from my arthritis.”         
                                                                                                ~ Sylvia H.
