If you have a parent or grandparent who\u2019s getting to that age, life isn\u2019t over. As a matter of fact, there are some things that you can do specifically to help them live a very robust life, a comfortable life, and stay healthy with a long life ahead of them. Let me share some of those tips with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How important is staying active when you are older?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying active is incredibly important. If you just lie on the couch, things are gonna slow down. What are the seniors doing? Where are their interests? Seniors can be active and it may even be to&nbsp;volunteer. Maybe it\u2019s where they\u2019re passing on their wisdom or helping somebody else reach their goals. They\u2019re at the point in life where they\u2019re giving back, not taking from. &nbsp;And frankly, there\u2019s no reason to have given up or be physically incapable of taking care of yourself unless there is a true major medical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do they stay active in Assisted Living?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone moves into one of our homes, we try to keep them active through exercise, senior yoga, music, pet therapy and so on. One of our residents last week had just gotten back from dancing. He went out to dance and enjoy time with friends, and then after a few hours, he came back to the house. He stays active and yet he\u2019s in our assisted living home being taken care of 24\/7, but obviously he has the energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now If he just said \u201cthat\u2019s it, I\u2019m not going to go. I\u2019m not going to ask my kids to pick me up and take me there.\u201d He would just kind of slowly fade away. That\u2019s not what we want. We want to keep them active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can my loved one play their own music, or do their own artwork?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve got a lot of people that used to be former musicians or they used to sing in a barbershop quartet and things like that. You know it\u2019s a lot of fun when you see a senior plug back into where they were when they were 10, 20 or 30 years younger. One of our residents has paintings on the wall in her bedroom that she did herself decades earlier. I said \u201cwe should get you an easel and some paint brushes and see what you can do,\u201d and she just lit up. She was inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will the residents all have the same beliefs and ideas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you talk to somebody that has different ideas and they share what they believe and you share what you believe and you have that interaction and exchange of ideas\u2026 that is empowering! It\u2019s growing. It gives you power, juice and energy. Seniors need that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to stay active physically and mentally. What you\u2019re looking for is that community, the other people that are around them. Can that person who\u2019s looking to move into your home, relate to the other residents in that home? &nbsp;And if they use to do something or want to do something, you can bring that activity in. All of those things can help keep a senior active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can also subscribe to our iTunes for on the go listening:<br><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36B.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36B.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36B-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36B-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36B-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36D.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36D.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36D-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36D-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36D-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36A.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36A.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36A-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36A-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/36A-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life doesn\u2019t end at 70 years old!
