The Comeback Kid: Risen and Moving
In this season of Easter, there is something extra powerful about the story of Laura. A resident of one of our communities, Laura was unable to stand from a seated position on her own before joining an ABHM wellness program a year ago. Today, she is the perfect example of the extraordinary outcomes we are seeing every day as a result of our programs.
Each day, Laura rides the NuStep, a piece of exercise equipment used for therapy, to increase her level of activity. Never having missed a class, she has seen her life change dramatically. All of her test results have improved significantly as a direct result of the wellness program.
"I don't even need to use my walker in my apartment anymore," Laura says. "I feel so much better, physically and mentally."
Laura can't say enough about how this program has changed her life for the better. At the communities where we have implemented wellness programs, we are really changing the way people age. These programs not only focus on physical health, but also the other five wellness dimensions: social, mental, emotional, spiritual and environmental. It is the blending and balancing of these six dimensions of wellness that promote and improve our residents' health and quality of life.
What Makes You a Part Of These Programs?
The wellness program is just the tip of the iceberg of what we are capable of achieving with your prayers and support. Unfortunately, we are currently only able to offer this wonderful program in three of our communities. It is our dream to offer wellness programs in all of our communities. Your annual gifts—contributions you make outright to us today—can help make this dream a reality, transforming and extending the lives of men and women in our communities.
