When residents move into their apartment at MMC, we try to set everyone up for success. Often times seniors are coming from home where they have been sitting most of the time or are coming in after having a fall. Our Gym/PT room is used by an awesome physical therapist name Vanessa who works with our seniors to keep or even gain strength and balance. Luna, Connected by Vanessa, has been serving our seniors for a couple years now.

John, Kathy and Linda are just a few of the residents that get to work out with Vanessa on one or both of the days she is in the building.
