Why Adult Day Care?

In today’s world we are overwhelmed with responsibilities and cares piled one upon the other; and us at the end struggling to make the most of it but each of faced with its laden dissatisfaction
that comes with the package of care at the end of the day. They abound as responsibilities of me, us, our spouse, our children, our parents, our siblings, our friends, our neighbor, our co worker, and our country mate and on and on we can go.....We believe most responsibilities are enormously challenging; and of them most is the care of a frail adult loved one`s; not because we cannot do it but because we feel too powerless to offer the best care we dream of.

Physical Activity and Older Adults
In order to improve the cardio respiratory, muscular fitness, functional health, depression and to reduce the risk of NCDs; Older people who are 65 and above should get involved in physical activities for example; walking, dancing, gardening, hiking, swimming, cycling, household chores, sports , yoga or aerobics exercise, by following the below recommendations by WHO
WHO Recommended following physical activity for adults aged 65 and above
1. Older adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or do at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity.
2. Aerobic activity should be performed in bouts of at least 10 minutes duration.
3. For additional health benefits, older adults should increase their moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity to 300 minutes per week, or engage in 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, or an equivalent combination of moderate-and vigorous-intensity activity.
4. Older adults, with poor mobility, should perform physical activity to enhance balance and prevent falls on 3 or more days per week.
5. Muscle-strengthening activities, involving major muscle groups, should be done on 2 or more days a week.
6. When older adults cannot do the recommended amounts of physical activity due to health conditions, they should be as physically active as their abilities and conditions allow.
