here, have a great meal together,” Glenn explains.
Another integral part of The Blake’s programs for senior
adult residents is exercise. Glenn shares, “We know how
important exercise is for older adults.” The Blake will
offer several areas and methods for seniors to exercise in
new and innovative ways. “We incorporate yoga, tai chi,
even martial arts, water aerobics and all kinds of exercise
programs to keep it fresh and inviting for our residents,”
he says.
Making a decision to move to a new place can be very
daunting, especially for senior adults. Many seniors have
probably lived in their family homes for several years.
They enjoy their community and having family and
friends visit. However, taking care of a home can become
more difficult as they age. Making a move to an assisted
living community may be the perfect solution, but seniors
and their families desire the best quality of life possible for
them. Glenn and his family also faced this decision with
Gi Gi.
“We understand the reservations, but what we had to
look at was what she had to gain,” he says. Gi Gi moved
into the first Blake community.
