Are you finding natural opportunities to move more each day?
The pandemic has resulted in the loss of some of the usual opportunities for mobilization for many of us, especially older adults. For older adults, deconditioning is becoming a pandemic within the pandemic. This is within your power to change! We challenge you to ask yourself, your colleagues, and your older patients how you can find new opportunities to add more movement to each day.
Moving more during a pandemic may require more creativity. Silly or exaggerated movements like arm circles or over the head waves with both arms when you say hello or goodbye is not only a natural opportunity for movement but a natural opportunity for generating smiles too.
Our QI coaches share bright ideas to support people who care for older adults living with frailty, and who want to learn from and inspire others. To share tools and experiences or ask for advice from others, including our QI coaches, join the sfCare Forum or email us.
