Staying active is incredibly important. If you just simply lie on the couch things are gonna slow down. They can still do something, but maybe it's volunteer. Maybe it's where they're passing on their wisdom or helping somebody else reach their goals. They're at the point in life where they're giving back, not taking from. And frankly there's no reason to have given up or be physically incapable of taking care of yourself unless there is a true major medical condition. In our homes when somebody moves in, we try to keep them active, exercise, senior yoga, music, pet therapy and so on. You need to stay active physically and mentally. What you're looking for is that community, the other people that are around them. Can the mom or dad, or the person who's looking to move into your home, relate to the other residents in that home. And if they used to do something or want to do something, you can bring that activity in. 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. That is empowering, it's growing It gives you power, juice and energy. Seniors need that too.
