Physical activity is a must when it comes to aging and maintaining independence and health. Just as our population of older adults is increasing, so is the amount of research into the importance of the effects of regular exercise.
Falls are generally preventable. One of the ways families attempt to decrease falls, mitigate fall risk, and increase safety is by moving a loved one into a senior living community, such as Assisted Living.
Technology is here empowering caregivers and older adults to age more successfully.
Technological advancements have made it viable to monitor patients remotely while at home or in skilled care. And this bodes well as we are seeing a massive shift in the caregiver community.

Paid or unpaid, caregiving is a job.
