Today, we have worked hard to compile 12 wellness and fitness tips to help you embrace the new year and start off as a happier, healthier version of yourself. Continue reading to get all the details! 

 

#1.) Participate in Tailored Fitness Programs

At Kingsley, we understand that each resident has unique physical abilities and interests. That’s why we offer a variety of fitness programs tailored to your needs, ensuring you stay active and healthy. Regardless of if you are a resident in assisted living or memory care, we can create a fitness plan that works for you and your goals. After all, staying physically active is a key way to ensure that your golden years are as happy and healthy as possible. 

 

#2.) Engage in Mindful Activities

Mental wellness is just as important as physical health. Engage in activities like yoga or meditation, which are offered through our Life Enrichment Program, to keep your mind sharp and relaxed. Mindfulness is also particularly important for those living with dementia. These types of activities allow memory care residents to feel connected and grounded where they might not have been able to before. 

 

#3.) Nutrition Matters 

No matter what age you are, diet and nutrition is extremely important. With our exceptional dining experience, focusing on nutritious and delicious menu options, you’re sure to enjoy meals that are not only tasty but also beneficial for your health. With every breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack you have as the Kingsley dining experience, you know that your food will be fresh, packed with nutrients, and ready to nourish your body.

 

#4.) Stay Hydrated

Another key tip is to always remember to drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining energy levels and overall health. All too often, older adults experience a naturally diminished thirst. However, this doesn’t mean that they don’t need to stay hydrated! Invest in a quality water bottle and check that you are filling it up several times a day. 

 

#5.) Socialize and Make Positive Connections

Social interaction is key to mental health. Our Positive Connections program ensures that every resident feels part of our close-knit community, enhancing emotional wellbeing. Many older adults struggle with feelings of isolation, loneliness, and depression. However, positive social interactions can be just the right remedy! 

 

#6.) Embrace Outdoor Activities

Whenever possible, engage in outdoor activities. The fresh air and natural surroundings can have a revitalizing effect on your health. In fact, many studies have shown that spending time in nature is especially beneficial to those living with dementia. Nature has a way of soothing anxiety, lessening feelings of agitation, and generally making people feel happier and more grounded. 

 

#7.) Attend Regular Health Check-ups

Utilize our Tailored Technology for easy access to telehealth appointments, ensuring regular health check-ups and proactive management of your health. After all, the best medicine is preventative medicine! Should any issues pop up, the earlier you know, the quicker you can act.

#8.) Pursue Ongoing Education

Let’s get one thing straight: you’re never too old to learn something new! Join in on the educational opportunities provided by our Life Enrichment Program. Here, you can take a cooking class, learn a new skill, or tackle an interesting lecture. Whichever you choose, know that keeping your brain active is vital for mental agility.

 

#9.) Participate in RENEW Rehabilitation

If you’re recovering from an illness or injury, our RENEW Rehabilitation program combines innovative therapies with unique approaches to help you regain independence and strength. With the help of our incredible and supportive staff, you can get back on your feet and ready to enjoy your golden years in no time. 

 

#10.) Memory Care and Support

If making the transition to memory care is on your list for 2024, then make sure to choose a Canton senior living community that offers unparalleled support and uplifting amenities. For residents with dementia, our Impressions Memory Care program offers a revolutionary approach, combining geno testing, virtual dementia training, and purposeful enrichment for personalized care. 

 

#11.) Rest and Relaxation

While it might seem obvious for someone who is retired, we mean it when we encourage you to get adequate rest. Our Canton senior living community endeavors to be comfortable and offers luxurious living spaces that are designed to provide you with the perfect environment for relaxation. Even our spacious floor plans offer you the chance to rest and relax. 

 

#12.) Stay Positive

Last but certainly not least on this list, a positive attitude can work wonders for your overall well being. Engage with our community and share your experiences and stories with others. You can also try keeping a gratitude journal and documenting the good things that happen throughout your week. This helps put things in perspective and allows you to focus on the positive side of life.
