Many older adults have difficulty transferring from one chair to another, walking safely or performing tasks due to decreased endurance and strength. These limitations can lead to other problems, such as immobility or falls and can greatly reduce a person's quality of life. It can also be beneficial for any older adult who simply wants to improve functional mobility.
RISE takes an individualized approach to physical strength training.
It identifies a resident's specific training requirements and sets meaningful and achievable goals to help regain and improve functional abilities. Program participants receive individual training sessions that will help them to meet their personal goals. Group activities, such as the walking club and fitness classes complement the personal training and promote socializing with fellow residents. RISE is not offered at all Alterra residences.
