As seniors live longer, their health and emotional well-being matters more than ever. Our gentle, customized support systems encourage healthy behaviours that can make the difference between a capable, thriving senior resident, and one who needs care sooner. Our onsite Wellness Consultants offer one-on-one guidance, helping residents with whatever they need to feel healthy, confident and fulfilled for long as possible. That could be managing stress, eating right, sleeping well or exercising. We also stage special presentations by visiting experts, such as dietitians, neurologists, transition specialists, certified counselors and psychologists, to give residents deeper insight into all aspects of healthy living.
Brain fitness deserves as much attention as physical fitness and nutrition. When combined, all three can boost the mood, reducing anxiety and depression. Cognitive fitness also encourages birth of new brain cells, and an increase in the connection between neurons (neuroplasticity). These changes improve memory, recall and tasks that require executive functioning skills.
With all of this in mind, our brain-fitness program, Grey Matters, gives residents a cognitive workout to boost their brain plasticity. Led by our Active Living Managers, the program uses a thought-stimulating curriculum that challenges the brain, to keep the mind active and healthy. This maximizes memory and cognitive function, and create new neural pathways. Residents love the way it challenges their thinking and memory!
PARC residences are equipped to take care of all seniors’ common safety and mobility concerns. With these addressed, our residents are free to live a life that’s worry-free, confident and secure, which translates to greater well-being. These peace-of-mind measures include:
