Daily Exercise and Stretching: Every day, our caregivers lead our residents in a stretching and seated exercise session. Usually after breakfast or after lunch, the caregivers assist the residents in stretching muscles, and moving body parts, often to fun and lively music. Even residents who don’t think they want to participate are soon smiling and following along.
