Lack of activity can lead to a downward spiral of poor health resulting in frailty, a condition that threatens the mind, body and social life of older adults, according to senior care experts. That's why staying active is viewed by so many as vital to healthy aging.
This problem is what prompted Home Instead Senior Care to develop the Get Mom Moving Activity Cards and Web site at http://www.getmommoving.com/, both designed to help keep seniors engaged and fit. These resources provide the tools by which seniors can fight frailty.
Family and caregivers who can encourage and integrate physical, mental and social activities in seniors' lives are helping them ward off frailty and stay healthy. And that addresses seniors' biggest fear of losing their independence.
