The Cedars has maintained a strong commitment to wellness for years through programs for our members, residents and staff alike. And now we are thrilled to announce a new position at The Cedars which ramps up our focus on wellness even further, through enhanced programming for our seniors. The Cedars recently welcomed Sarah Bartell, Community Wellness Coordinator, to our community.
Sarah’s role will serve as a complement to our current Life Enrichment offerings at The Atrium independent living, and The Osher Inn Assisted Living. Currently, our Life Enrichment calendar includes strength and resistance training, yoga, water aerobics, tai chi, walking groups, and Zumba gold. With the addition of this new position, our residents will experience a twofold change.
First, they will find a greater variety of fitness classes and educational sessions on nutrition and wellness. And secondly, they’ll have the option to participate in routine fitness assessments to determine their baseline strength and wellness, as well as gains along the way. Sarah will work individually with each senior to establish their personal wellness goals and monitor their progress. Although this program is completely optional – we’re finding a great deal of enthusiasm coming from our residents.
Sarah received her B.S. in Exercise Science from St. Joseph’s University and has worked in personal training, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, and as a health mentor. Stay tuned further updates on Wellness at The Cedars. Contact us today for more information on wellness at The Cedars.
