Why Seniors Need to Exercise

Exercise is essential for a healthy body and mind. However, exercise for seniors can often be a challenge, especially when mobility is an issue. There are many reasons why we tend to slow down and become more sedentary with age. It may be due to health problems, weight or pain issues, or worries about falling. Or perhaps you think that exercising simply isn’t for you. But that doesn’t mean that exercise is any less important. According to Mark Berger, Chicago based healthcare executive, the key is staying active and moving the body in any way possible.

Post-Acute and Long-Term Care

When a person is discharged from the hospital following an illness or injury, although the patient is no longer in need of hospital services, they do still require medical care. Under the leadership of Mark Berger Chicago, Villa Healthcare, a leading provider of post-hospital care, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and long-term care services, offers post-acute care services to bridge the gap between hospital and home.

Villa Healthcare owns and manages twenty-two Short Term Rehabilitation and Nursing Centers throughout the Midwest.
