Staying Active, Staying Well
To maintain independence and good health, we offer a variety of programs aimed at the health and wellness of our residents. Led by our Fitness and Wellness Coordinator, we have balance-improvement, mobility, and other classes to help you maintain an active, enjoyable lifestyle.
Royal Gardens is proud to have a Fitness and Wellness Coordinator on our team. As part of our commitment to care for the “whole” individual, the Fitness and Wellness Coordinator ensures that each resident has opportunities to develop and maximize their physical abilities. Our program includes regular exercise, balance-improvement, and mobility classes to help you maintain an independent lifestyle. Our holistic approach to “Wellness” encourages opportunities such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Relaxation and other alternative forms of health enhancing therapies.
Our certified staff can provide an individual assessment of your current status and assist you and your family in developing a program just for you. Work with us to help improve your fitness levels and give you the strength and energy you need to stay healthy and active.
Our therapeutic aquafit pool, located at Canterbury Gardens, provides a safe exercise experience. The warm salt-water soothes your skin and the buoyancy of the water provides the perfect environment for safe exercise.
Our Fitness and Wellness Coordinator leads regular exercise programs and will tailor a specific program to meet your individual needs. Regardless of your age, fitness level, or whether you are looking for rehabilitation or just to get some safe and effective exercise, the fitness programs and access to the aquafit pool at Canterbury Gardens are for you!
