Guided movement helps our residents maintain the abilities they still have for as long as possible. Exercise creates muscle strength for standing, walking and transferring and betters both sleep quality and appetite. Movement stimulates the brain, reducing anxiety, and decreases restlessness and agititation. Exercise provides structure, and like music, exercise brings residents together. They laugh , follow along, and experience success in a way that feels achievable and safe.
