AIMs Program
We are proud to introduce a new program at Lynden Manor. It is called the AIMs (Aging in Motion...Successfully) program. Our AIMs approach consists of physical, occupational, and speech therapy services combined with specialized fitness programs and continuing education, all conveniently scheduled here at Lynden Manor. We have partnered with Christian Health Care Center and Infinity Rehab to provide this service. Their therapists use personalized screenings to assess your current level of function with physical fitness, balance, daily living tasks, and memory. They then work together with our residents to meet health and fitness goals.
It is our goal to make our residents as healthy as they can be to live a fuller life. It all helps with mobility and balance, to relieve pain, and restore strength. It has been proven that residents who engage in a comprehensive health and wellness program often achieve a higher quality of life and maintain independence longer. Another advantage is that if by chance a resident is prescribed some physical, occupational or speech therapy, it can all be done here at Lynden Manor. No longer will our residents need to be escorted next door during bad weather, the therapists go to them!
