Today is #FitnessDayUK and Seniors Helping Seniors® is celebrating with a profile on this amazing lady.

Carer Colin cycles to her house first thing and they share a couple of hours together. General tasks in the house and garden are followed by lunch and a good walk most days.

Can you believe our client is 92 years old? She has lots of tips on keeping well, but her top tip is to keep active. She still strides out in rain or shine!

Her family is happy that Colin accompanies her to keep her safe and on track. Some days you may ask who is inspiring who!

Research shows how using the legs, particularly in weight-bearing exercise, sends signals to the brain that are vital for the production of healthy neural cells. Neural cells are essential for the brain and nervous system.
We are meant to walk, run, crouch to sit, and use our leg muscles to lift things. “Use it, or lose it” as this one says!

Cutting back on exercise makes it difficult for the body to produce new nerve cells, so when grief or a new diagnosis strikes, what people need most is someone to encourage them both physically and mentally.

Seniors Helping Seniors® carers are close in age to their clients and they have a lot of living under their belts. Carers are either professionally trained or experts by experience having cared for loved ones. Carers know how to offer encouragement and leading by example, doing activities with people is effective.

Seniors Helping Seniors® is helping clients make #FitnessDayUK an active day and Seniors Helping Seniors® supports #FitnessDayUK. Celebrating physical activity today and helping clients keep active year long.

Every day of the year, Seniors Helping Seniors® supports people to live the lives they want to live no matter their age or the conditions they live with. The service is about helping with the tasks of daily life while inspiring and facilitating as much physical and mental activity as possible.

A typical week will see Seniors Helping Seniors® carers accompany clients living with dementia to chair-based yoga sessions, taking clients to the local gentle gym, taking clients to and watching a swim session, going on walks in the woods, along the prom or just around the corner to post a letter. On #FitnessDayUK, Seniors Helping Seniors® is celebrating all these activities in addition to the usual rota of jobs and keeping people safe.

The service matches carer to client very carefully and both client and carer love the time they spend together, making working at Seniors Helping Seniors® a joy and staffing and scheduling a breeze.

With super low start up fees and low overheads, franchisees who share the desire to give something back to their local community and want to run a successful, profitable and inspiring business can get in touch with Seniors Helping Seniors®.
