Exercises for Improving Balance in Seniors
By Michelle Pantoja, CNA, CDP, Care Director
As seniors grow older, you may notice increasing problems with balance. This increases the risk of falling, which can have terrible consequences. Their bones are more fragile and falling can easily mean a broken hip. The good news? There are many exercises that are simple and easy and can be done right from home with no special equipment! Here are a few exercises that will increase balance and mobility in your senior loved one.
We are proud to sponsor and have one of our staff members,
Rachelle Blough, present this online education session. In partnership with Aging Care Connections, this online webinar will review practical and realistic ways that senior living providers may be able to increase daily opportunities for engagement and cognitive stimulation. Ms. Blough will provide examples and approaches that can enhance daily quality of life of our residents in very simple ways.
Rachelle is a Certified Recreational Therapist, Certified Dementia Practitioner and Certified Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Trainer with the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP). She oversees training for our caregivers focusing on dementia and life enrichment. Rachelle is also available to consult directly with our Home Helpers clients.
