Besides staying active, proper nutrition is essential in senior living. At our retirement community, our team strives to make sure each resident receives the nourishment they need to stay healthy and strong. We work with residents to create personalized nutrition plans that cater to their specific needs and dietary preferences.
Stay Physically Active
A key factor in staving off frailty is maintaining physical activity. Frequent exercise can increase muscle strength and enhance balance. Both are essential to preserve mobility. Studies have shown that seniors who exercise regularly are less likely to become frail. This doesn’t mean extreme fitness routines. Simple activities like walking, swimming, or cycling are effective, gentle options.
Belonging to a retirement community can motivate you to stay active. Group fitness sessions or community sports events can foster a collective spirit of active living. Team members ensure these activities are accessible, safe, and fun for everyone. Physical activity nurtures the community’s body and spirit, boosting the overall quality of life and preventing frailty.
Maintain a Balanced Diet
Good nutrition is a cornerstone of health at any age, especially after 60. A balanced diet rich in proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats can work wonders for general health. Sufficient nutrient intake can help maintain muscle mass — critical to combat frailty. Vitamins and minerals from a varied diet can improve overall body function, strengthening defenses against potential frailty.
Retirement communities often offer options for balanced, delicious meals tailored to nutritional needs. Eating together can be a delightful experience, promoting a sense of unity. This aspect, coupled with sound dietary habits, can effectively curb frailty. Experts in community teams provide diet advice, ensuring everyone has access to optimal nutrition to preserve strength and vitality.
Get Regular Health Check-ups
Regular health check-ups are a preventative measure against frailty. We can treat or manage potential issues more effectively by catching them early. Common health checks should include blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes risk, and vision and hearing tests.
Retirement communities can facilitate these regular health check-ups, scheduling them and ensuring residents attend. Having these check-ups within the community makes it easier for residents to get them done. Such motivation and support from the community and its team are invaluable in keeping up with needed health screenings, playing an instrumental role in preventing frailty.
