At Sage Glendale Senior Living, we believe in the power of staying active, no matter your age or mobility level. Our commitment to enriching the lives of our residents goes beyond providing a safe and comfortable environment; it’s about fostering wellness in all its forms. Staying active isn’t just about improving your physical wellness, though that’s certainly one reason! After moving to our Glendale assisted living community, keeping active also allows you to maintain a thriving social life and bolster your cognitive health. 

However, the benefits don’t stop there! Continue reading to explore a list of ten compelling reasons why seniors should embrace an active lifestyle in our community as well as info about how to schedule a tour. 

 

1. Heart Health Improvement

 

Physical activity is crucial for maintaining a healthy heart, especially as we age. Regular exercise, even in its gentlest forms, can significantly reduce the risk of heart diseases. Our LifeCycles™ wellness program at Sage Glendale emphasizes activities that keep your heart pumping and healthy, tailored to suit every resident’s individual capacity.

On our resident activity calendar, we feature many great physical activities to try. Some of our favorites include daily morning walks, video yoga for all levels, open gym, stretching and meditation, and so much more. No matter what your physical ability level is, there is something for everyone here at Sage Glendale. 

 

2. Enhanced Motor Skills and Coordination

 

Staying active helps improve motor skills and coordination, which are vital for maintaining independence. Our range of activities, from cooking classes to crafting sessions, are designed to keep those hands moving and minds sharp, ensuring our residents’ motor skills are continuously engaged and refined. In turn, this translates into being able to better care for one’s self, including not needing as much assistance with day to day activities such as dressing and eating. 

 

3. Decreased Risk of Falls

 

Did you know that falls are among the leading causes of injuries for older adults? An active lifestyle strengthens muscles and improves balance, thus reducing the risk of falls. In our Glendale assisted living community, we offer various exercise programs that focus on building strength and balance, helping residents feel more confident and secure in their movements.

 

4. Boosted Mental Health and Cognitive Function

 

Physical activity isn’t just good for the body; it’s great for the mind too. Engaging in regular physical and social activities can ward off depression, reduce stress, and even slow cognitive decline. Our LifeCycles™ wellness program caters to the intellectual dimension of wellness, ensuring our residents remain mentally active and engaged. With this holistic approach to wellness, you can ensure that every aspect of your health is being catered to. 

 

5. Improved Social Connections

 

Staying active within the community opens up numerous opportunities for social interaction. Whether it’s attending a sporting event together, participating in group exercise, or simply sharing stories during a scenic drive, every activity at Sage Glendale is an opportunity to build friendships and strengthen bonds. Moving to our Glendale assisted living community means that you’ll have the chance to connect and interact with other residents. 

 

6. Spiritual Wellness

 

At Sage Glendale, we understand that wellness extends beyond the physical and mental. Our activities and programs also encompass spiritual wellness, offering residents opportunities for reflection, meditation, and connection with their spiritual selves in a supportive community setting. Those who are more in tune with their spiritual wellness tend to lead happier, healthier lives.

7. Personalized Care and Independence

 

No two residents are alike, nor do they need an identical level of support. Our approach to assisted living is centered around providing just the right amount of support for each individual. Whether it’s helping with daily tasks or providing a rich array of activities, we ensure our residents maintain their independence and dignity, while still enjoying the full spectrum of life in our community. 

 

8. Improved Sleep Quality

 

Regular physical activity can significantly improve sleep quality for seniors. Engaging in light to moderate exercise during the day helps regulate sleep patterns, leading to deeper and more restful sleep. At Sage Glendale, our array of activities is designed to promote better sleep, ensuring our residents wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. In turn, this allows older adults to lead an overall better quality of life. 

 

9. Enhanced Digestive and Immune Function

 

An active lifestyle aids in maintaining a healthy digestive system and boosts the immune system. Gentle exercises, walks, and activities that engage the body in mild physical exertion are excellent for promoting gut health and enhancing the body’s ability to fight off illnesses. Our Glendale assisted living community emphasizes activities that support overall physical well-being, contributing to a stronger immune system and better digestive health.

 

10. Increased Sense of Purpose and Fulfillment

 

Participating in activities, especially those that contribute to the community or involve learning new skills, can give seniors a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment. At Sage Glendale, we offer a variety of programs that allow our residents to feel a sense of accomplishment, whether it’s through creating something in a craft class, contributing to a community project, or learning something new in one of our educational workshops.
