The Benefits of the Center For Active Living
Stay Active and Healthy
One of the first and most important benefits to mention is the ability for older adults to stay healthy and active. There are lots of classes that focus on exercise and mobility and that is obviously a vital thing for all older adults. We know that mobility can suffer as we age but we can stay mobile and fit when we exercise.
Meet New People and Make Friends
It is also about being social. People who might not have many friends or family living close to them can really benefit from attending the Center regularly and making the most of all the activities that are going on there. They will make new friends who are in the same situation as them and are of a similar age.
Avoid Boredom and Isolation
Many older adults living alone can get bored and start feeling isolated as well. Feeling lonely and isolated leave many older adults lost and with nothing interesting to fill their time with. Interaction with peers, and a community support can help prevent senior isolation and lead to improved physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Engage Your Mind
Engaging your mind is a crucial part of what you can do at the Center. There are a lot of activities and learning opportunities that get older adults thinking and learning. This is important because an active mind is a healthy one.
