As we age, maintaining optimal health becomes even more paramount. For those over 70, regular health screenings and checks can be the difference between prevention and treatment. Knowing the essential screenings and health tips for seniors and their loving families becomes a priority. This article will delve into the critical health checks for those over 70 and how Genesis Village elevates senior wellness through its robust partnerships.
Vascular Screenings
Our vascular system requires more attention as we age. A vascular screening helps identify any potential issues related to blood vessels. At Genesis Village, we prioritize this by offering vascular screenings through our dedicated medical partnerships, ensuring the cardiovascular well-being of our senior community.
Regular Blood Pressure Checks
Monitoring blood pressure is essential, especially for seniors. High blood pressure can lead to severe health conditions. At Genesis Village, our residents have access to regular blood pressure checks, ensuring they remain within a healthy range.
Cancer Awareness Seminars
Knowledge is power. And with many cancers becoming more prevalent with age, being informed is crucial. Genesis Village hosts wellness seminars focusing on different cancer awareness topics, empowering our senior community with the information they need to take preventive measures.
Audiology Appointments
Hearing issues become more common as we age. Regular checks can prevent or address any potential hearing concerns. Genesis Village has partnered with esteemed audiology professionals to offer timely appointments for our residents.
Podiatry
Feet, though often overlooked, plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. Seniors can face various podiatric concerns, from bunions to diabetic foot issues. Genesis Village’s partnerships give our residents access to top-notch podiatry care.
General Health Tips for Seniors:
- Stay Active: Regular exercises, even light walks, can keep the heart healthy and the muscles toned.
- Balanced Diet: Consuming a nutrient-rich diet can combat many age-related health issues.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep the body functioning optimally.
