Age is just a number! This 102 gentleman reminds us that living a healthy lifestyle is key to longevity, demonstrating two of our core values: Health is Wealth and Movement is Medicine! What's your favorite way to get exercise and stay fit?

Mike Fremont, 102 years young, out for the evening exercise!

Mike didn’t miss a beat saying hello and making friends with passersby on the trail including a mother and her daughter who was giggling, smiling and running 2 year old toddler - a century different in age. They gave big smiles to one another. It was a great moment.

Mike continues his routine of 30 minutes of exercise a day. He tells me remarkably that he use to have arthritis in his shoulder, neck and hand in his late 60’s but has absolutely zero as a centenarian. “When I got cancer at 69 I changed from the standard American diet to eating vegan to help fight the cancer and remarkably after a few weeks of changing my diet my arthritis went away.”

“Oh the places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss
IMike and Marilyn continue to love their canoing adventures and most weeks go with a group of friends ideally three times during the warmer months. They are also looking forward to making a canoeing journey to Canada, Michigan this summer and the annual 8 mile Paddlefest in August in Cincinnati.

We had some fantastic Asian food for dinner! Tofu-miso soup, ginger salad, bok choy sautéed in garlic, green tea and lots of oranges for dessert. Mike was more excited about the oranges than the fortune cookie.

He smiles and jokes talking about the races he runs as a centenarian - “There’s no competition!”Marilyn and I looked aiming to see if there were any records for the mile race for centenarians being kept but it only seemed for shorter events. Marilyn stumbled over a Wikipedia page for single age group masters world records in the marathon and Mike was listed from age M90, 6:35:47. He wants to run the mile race.

Mike’s feeling spry and soaking up the daily adventures!

Did you know that in most of our locations, we offer Home Safety Assessments through licensed Occupational Therapists that we have on staff? Has your loved one experienced a fall recently or is unstable while moving around their home? Has your loved one recently been hospitalized after a broken bone and returning home?

Falls are the leading cause of serious injuries among older adults. Having an Occupational Therapist conduct a home safety assessment is a key way to prevent future falls and injuries. A home safety assessment includes a thorough review of the home environment to identify hazards and assistant with changes to improve safety and convenience.

Graceful Aging is Not a Given We all have heard the relentless message over and over again: eat a well-balanced diet, exercise regularly, get adequate sleep, stop smoking, drink water, limit stress, have sex…And some of us respond & live it out rather well. Others, not so much. Why does it get lost on some? Perhaps there’s.....

Our thoughts and prayers are with the residents of Upper Tantallon. Truly heartbreaking for those affected by the wildfire.

Please note that due to 2 of our office team members living in the area, our office will be closed on Monday, the 29th of May.

A big thank you to all the fire crews working so hard to get the fire under control.
