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.
Take the next step
stress reduction
Dehydration in older adults poses several health risks, making it vital for seniors to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
We can reduce and sometimes even reverse age-related muscle loss through progressive resistance exercise.
