Stress Reduction

The Plaza Life Protocol

Easing stress for a higher quality of life

When stress in seniors becomes overwhelming, it can lead to negative consequences, including metabolic syndrome, increased risk of stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. In our senior living communities, we help residents reduce mental and physical stress.

Socializing

At The Plaza, our residents develop healthier social lives with group activities such as doing arts and crafts, games, singing, and playing musical instruments.

Mindfulness

We encourage mindfulness for seniors because studies show that mindfulness-based stress reduction significantly reduces loneliness for older adults, improves anxiety and depression, and lowers blood pressure.

Consistent exercise

Exercise has been proven to help prevent metabolic disease without the need for pharmaceuticals, which is why we help our residents incorporate regular resistance training as part of senior stress management.
