AT THE ALLEGRO … OUR FOCUS IS SENIOR WELLNESS

The Allegro at Helmwood

At the Allegro, we are committed to helping our residents set, reach and maintain wellness goals. Our Senior Lifestyle Wellness program consists of an array of services to help seniors maintain and enhance overall well-being. It is designed for all ages and abilities, from beginners to the more advanced. Residents choose options that best suit their needs and goals. Flexibility in choice is the key, as residents select what, when and how to participate.

At the heart of the wellness program is the on-site fitness center. The center, which was recently completed, is furnished with cardio and strength-training equipment that are easy to understand and to operate. Residents may use the center independently, or staff can provide assistance if requested.

Other wellness program services available to residents include:

• A variety of structured group classes to help increase range of motion, physical endurance and strength
• YOGA classes to enhance balance and flexibility
• Nutrition consultations to promote healthy eating
• Outdoor walking program (seasonal)
• Educational discussion groups and disease prevention seminars for special needs, such as diabetes, stroke recovery, hypertension, arthritis and pain management.
• “Laughter is the Best Medicine” program to promote humor, healing and emotional well-being
• Massage therapy and other services to manage stress
