February is Heart Health Month—a time to raise awareness about cardiovascular wellness, especially in senior living communities. At Brentwood Healthcare Center, we use this opportunity to educate, engage, and support residents with simple ways to care for their hearts.
Promoting Healthy Habits
- Nutrition: Our chef-prepared meals include heart-healthy options like lean proteins, leafy greens, and low-sodium dishes to support residents’ well-being.
- Exercise: We offer low-impact fitness programs like walking clubs, chair yoga, and stretching classes to encourage movement.
- Routine Monitoring: Blood pressure checks and medication management are part of our daily care to help prevent issues before they start.
Heart Health Activities
Throughout February, we feature themed events like “Wear Red Day,” heart-smart education sessions, and wellness games to help residents stay informed in a fun, engaging way. Families are welcome to join in the awareness efforts too!
Small Steps, Big Impact
Maintaining heart health doesn’t require major changes. Brentwood’s supportive environment and knowledgeable care team make it easier for residents to embrace daily habits that keep their hearts strong.
