Adult Day Zumba
SENIORS ARE DANCING THEIR WAY TO BETTER HEALTH AT THE EASTER SEALS ADULT MEDICAL DAY SERVICES IN SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND
We've all heard that dancing can be healthy for the mind body and spirit. Well, this is exactly what the seniors are learning during the newly-incorporated, weekly zumba activity at the Adult Day Services (ADS) in Silver Spring. Zumba is just one of the many enriching activities seniors and older adults are able to participate in. As part of the activity curriculum, the ADS implements a monthly calendar, full of daily activities, to keep our loved ones engaged, stimulated and having a great time.
The past few sessions of zumba have proven to be very beneficial for the seniors at Easter Seals--helping many of them get moving, connect memories with the music and put a smile on their faces. Many of the participants at the ADS feel that connection with the music being played during the zumba activity, (particularly the oldies), and others just feel great after stretching and participating in some of the low-impact moving exercises. Zumba has been a real hit at Easter Seals, and it will hopefully improve long-term ease of everyday activities and range of motion for the seniors and older adults at Easter Seals.
Easter Seals Adult Medical Day Services offers programs and resources to help you provide the best possible care for your spouse, parent, child or other loved ones who need assistance with daily living. It is a priority of Easer Seals to provide enriching activities to help our senior remain independent. The monthly activity curriculum offers many community activities, including field trips to local stores, the library, and even lunch on the town. The Adult Medical Day Services also provides regular health screenings with our full-time medical staff.
