Keep Moving at The Orchards
FRESH FLOWERS
Barb, dietary at The Orchards of Saxonburg, acquired
some fresh cut flowers from a friend. She then made
arrangements for each of the residents and delivered
them to their rooms. Our residents were thrilled to see
their beautiful arrangements!

Physical activity and exercise
are important to our physical
and mental health so that
we can stay engaged, be
independent and enjoy life.
It has long been documented
that regular activity and
exercise over extended
periods of time can produce
long-term health benefits
as we age. But, even as
we age, exercise can be an
effective treatment for many
chronic conditions. Studies
have shown that people with
arthritis, heart disease and
diabetes benefit from regular
exercise, as do those who
have high blood pressure,
balance problems and
difficulty walking. Several
of our scheduled activities,
including exercise and our
recreational sports groups,
as well as movements such
as self-propelling one’s
wheelchair offer exercise
opportunities for endurance,
strength, balance and
flexibility.

Receiving flowers, whether they are sent from another
person or you bought them for yourself, can give you
an immediate mood boost. A bouquet of flowers is
a sign that someone cares for you, and being wellthought
of can
do a lot for a
person’s wellbeing.
A pretty
flower bouquet
with bright
colors and a
soothing scent
can brighten
a room and
your mood at
the same time.
