Senior Mobility and Healthy Aging
It is a fact that humans who are more active tend to be healthier and live longer lives. The same goes for seniors who are growing in age. A healthy lifestyle and senior mobility is important for their overall health and quality of life. Senior health is important to keep them thriving, up and at it and on their feet daily to do chores, to take care of themselves, and to communicate with others.
While your loved one is aging, their overall health and agility is slowly declining. In some cases, it can decline rapidly. By keeping your senior active both mentally and physically, they will age better, become stronger and ultimately live a stronger life.
What is Senior Mobility Important?
There are many reasons why senior mobility is important for their overall health. Seniors have a high fall risk, some falls resulting in extreme injury or death. Mobility through the practice of balance, walking and engaging in activities keeps your loved one stronger, causing their fall rate to decrease. Senior health has other benefits such as increasing fitness levels and helping them keep on a healthy weight. Senior mobility helps to grow muscle and improves their overall cardiovascular health. Another amazing benefit? When working with others in a group such as group activities or fitness classes, it helps the senior avoid isolation – keeping them happier and healthier. If you are a caregiver for your loved one, how can you be sure they get this much-needed physical activity, even when you are not around?

With our assistance, they are able to do many things on their own including bathing, cooking and yes, exercising. Full-time or part-time care is an option with Comfort Keepers.
