Avamere at Sherwood - Senior Fitness for One's Mind and Body

Avamere at Sherwood encourages seniors to not only partake in the activities they know and are familiar with, but also experience new ones as well. While conducting any mental task is helpful, doing a variety of mental tasks creates true mental senior citizens fitness and is what Avamere at Sherwood offers.

It's been highlighted that exercise programs for senior citizens—both physical and mental—can improve a senior’s overall health and avoid the potential of dementia or Alzheimer’s. One such study, from the National Institute on Aging, found that within a four-year period, seniors who regularly listened to the radio, read newspapers and books, visited museums and other mind-enriching venues, effectively lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer's by 47%.

Senior Citizen Fitness through Spirituality

Avamere at Sherwood stands by the idea that spiritual beliefs and religion are an individual preference. We support and facilitate activities that nurture the spirit in general terms by bringing residents and their families closer together through Bible study groups, meditation and prayer sessions, and visiting pastoral staff for weekly services.
