Welcome to 2026.
A new year is a good reminder that caring for our bodies supports independence, confidence, and quality of life as we age.
At Designed for Seniors, I walk alongside families as they navigate housing options such as independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Just as important as choosing the right home is maintaining the strength to enjoy it.
Here are a few simple ways seniors can support nutrition and mobility this year:
• Prioritize protein at each meal to support strength
• Stay hydrated throughout the day, even without thirst cues
• Choose fiber-rich foods for digestion and heart health
• Support bone health with adequate calcium and vitamin D
• Keep meals balanced and enjoyable, not complicated
Mobility matters. Simple balance and strength exercises practiced a few times a week can help support steadiness and confidence in daily life.
Small, consistent habits today help protect independence tomorrow. If you ever need guidance finding the right place to call home, I am here to walk that path with you.
