Active Senior Living at UMH

Staying active is crucial to maintaining a high quality of life, even at an advanced age. United Methodist Homes of New Jersey (UMHNJ) is committed to improving the lives of our residents. A key development of our efforts in this regard is our recent SeniorFITness program roll out at The Shores at Wesley Manor (Ocean City).
SeniorFITness, the multidisciplinary program built to be both fun and functional for older adults is managed by professional exercise physiologists. It includes activities to improve strength, balance, mobility and mental well-being for residents.
Overall there are huge benefits for those that participate in SeniorFITness. Residents will learn the how and why behind the program’s movements and activities. Also working on balance and stretching help them to prevent injuries and increases the longevity of completing their routine activities without any help. Physical exercise also presents a great avenue to meet others and take on age appropriate physical challenges in a friendly supportive environment.
We believe that cognitive, physical and social activity work together in establishing overall health lay at the core of the resident offerings. Finally, all the five assisted living communities which maintain a wide variety of optional programs is committed to keep seniors active and strong implements SeniorFITness.
