Caregiver Services in Tulsa Help Keep Seniors Active

Staying active physically and mentally is an important part of overall health, but many seniors struggle to meet these core needs, either because of physical concerns, or because they're no longer as formally engaged in their communities. When you're used to getting most of your mental stimulation from a challenging job, for example, how do you fill that void when you're retired at home? As part of the caregiver services we offer at Visiting Angels® Tulsa, we make it a priority to help local seniors take part in stimulating activities so they can thrive.

Why Staying Active Is So Important for Seniors in Tulsa

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend 30 minutes of exercise every day to maintain overall health. For seniors, meeting this target is especially important because it can help promote cardiovascular health, boost metabolism, and reduce the risk of depression — which is a common problem among older adults. 

Staying mentally and socially stimulated is also very important. Seeking out new opportunities to learn and be challenged can help counter the effects of cognitive decline so seniors can stay sharp as they age. Meanwhile, finding opportunities to socialize can counter the very real physical and mental health risks posed by isolation and loneliness.

The best way for seniors to address all of these needs is to look out for activities in their area that can touch on more than one. Swimming and Tai Chi are both great, low-impact ways to stay physically active, and they can also be a social outlet if you take a class at the gym, or join an open air Tai Chi session at your local park. Similarly, many colleges and universities offer adult education courses that can keep you or your loved one learning and meeting people with shared interests.

With our caregiver services at Visiting Angels Tulsa, we can help seniors overcome the physical obstacles that might keep them from engaging with their community and pursuing activities they'd enjoy. Our caregivers can arrange and escort seniors to outings, from a regular yoga class to a special event at a local museum or community center.
