September is Fall Prevention Month, but at Harbor’s Edge, supporting strength and movement is a year-round priority. Staying active isn’t just about exercise–it’s about living with confidence, independence, and joy. Our community makes wellness a natural and enjoyable part of daily life.
Fitness That Fits Every Lifestyle
Residents have many ways to stay active: fitness centers, wellness classes, a heated indoor pool, nearby walking trails, and guidance from personal trainers. Our Director of Health and Wellness, Laurie Gris, also organizes themed group programs that bring people together in fun and engaging ways.
The Benefits of Staying Active
Balance and Confidence
Exercise improves balance, coordination, and agility, which can help reduce the risk of falls. Movement builds steadiness and supports confidence in daily routines.
Everyday Strength
Strong muscles make everyday activities easier and allow residents to remain independent longer. Regular exercise builds resilience and stamina for hobbies, travel, and daily life.
Bone and Heart Health
Weight-bearing activities strengthen bones and lower the risk of osteoporosis, while regular activity also supports cardiovascular health by improving blood pressure and cholesterol.
Mind and Mood
Physical activity boosts mood, lowers stress, and sharpens focus. Group classes also create opportunities for connection, turning exercise into moments of friendship and encouragement.
Living Well, Every Day
Wellness is the foundation for enjoying life to the fullest. Whether it’s a water aerobics class, a walk with friends, or a new strength routine, residents have the support and resources to stay active in ways that feel right for them. Feeling strong and confident opens the door to more independence, more freedom, and more joy in everyday living.
