Senior Living: Safe and healthy weight training for older adults

Posted on: February 14, 2019

Everyone knows the importance of regular exercise, but the type of exercise you do matters as well. Strength training is an essential part of any workout routine, and this is especially true for older adults; after age 50, you lose 1-2% of muscle strength every year, increasing to 3% after age 60. In addition to protecting against age-related muscle loss, strength training can alleviate the symptoms of arthritis, diabetes, and depression, while also improving balance, sleep, and mobility.

  • My grandmother lives at the Ventura Townehouse and I feel confident that she is in good hands. They get her to her appointments and provide any aftercare that she may need. Everyone there is friendly and like family. I feel like I’m at home when I go there to visit her and eat with her in the dining room.

  • Recently, I visited my Mom from Chicago. Each day I offered to take us out and about in Ventura. We found ourselves having such an enjoyable time at the Townehouse we didn’t leave. The dining room was so lovey to enjoy with her friends. Patios welcoming and the activities kept us busy. We laughed and had fun all day! Thank you everyone for making me feel at home and making my visit special. It’s always hard to leave my mom. But not as hard when I know she is so happy! Until my next visit!
