Active Senior Assisted Living

At PeachTree Place Assisted Living Community near Ogden, UT, we can help your loved one stay socially, mentally, and physically active all through their golden years. There are many amazing benefits of an active lifestyle for seniors.

  • Increased Socialization – Exercise can be a fun opportunity to spend time with peers. Isolation often leads to feelings of loneliness and depression, especially in older adults, but taking a fitness class, joining a walking group, or playing golf with friends can all help your loved one feel more connected.
  • Improved Mood – Exercise releases “feel-good” hormones called endorphins, which can help reduce stress and stave off mood swings, anxiety, and depression.
  • Increased Mobility, Dexterity & Strength – Better mobility can translate to a decreased risk of falls. On a related note, regular physical activity boosts bone health and may even reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
  • Improved Cognitive Functioning – Exercise increases blood flow to the brain and promotes cell growth. Studies show that regular physical activity can decrease your loved one’s risk of developing dementia, regardless of when they start the routine. Moreover, staying active is an important component of dementia care and Alzheimer’s care because it can help slow the disease progression.
  • Better Sleep Quality – Frequent physical activity is linked to better sleep. If your loved one suffers from insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns, exercising more often may help them get a better night’s rest.
  • Longer Lifespan & Better Overall Health – Countless studies show that physical activity lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and strokes. Even low-to-moderate intensity cardio, such as going on daily walks, can significantly benefit your loved one’s overall health.
