Clay Gardens Place Assisted Living: For Seniors Managing Heart Health and Mobility
Clay Gardens Place Assisted Living programs focus on customization and accessibility for our seniors. Focusing on the cardiovascular fitness that aging adults need allows us to complement your health and exercise routines rather than disrupt them.
How well are you managing your senior heart wellness as you age? According to Heart.org, heart disease and stroke are both on the rise for modern seniors. How can you avoid joining the wrong side of the statistics?
A great start is to spend your retirement in idyllic Zanesville, Ohio. Our reputation as an art town is well-deserved, featuring countless museums, galleries, and other art-focused pastimes for you. Whether you just want to marvel at the Y-shaped bridge or visit the Longaberger Basket building, we're proud to have you!
How does senior heart wellness impact the mobility support Zanesville seniors need? If you're curious about your cardiovascular fitness, we're here to help. Read on for a quick and easy guide on mobility support and cardiovascular health.
What's It All Mean?
To start, what is your cardiovascular health? It sounds scientific, but it's extremely simple: your heart!
Your cardiovascular health is related to your heart in numerous ways. This category of health may include:
- Blood pressure
- Healthy circulation
- The strength of your heart itself
- The condition of your blood cells
There are also countless ways for us to impact our heart health. Cardio workouts that specifically exercise our cardiovascular system is a perfect way, but not everyone is able to engage with such exercises at an advanced age.
Mobility Support
Mobility support is also rather easy to understand. A community's mobility support is how well it supports people with mobility limitations.
Someone who uses a wheelchair, walker, or even a cane falls under this category. Other people may use no equipment but may need to rest frequently when moving.
Still others may have conditions that make a fall more likely, such as vertigo. According to the CDC, over 14 million seniors report falling in an average year. That's almost 25%!
Mobility support comes in many ways. At Clay Gardens Place Assisted Living, we focus on designing a community that's easy to navigate while providing you with professional assistance. Browse our assisted living options to learn more!
How We Support You
No matter your cardiovascular health, we're dedicated to providing you with support. But how do we do so?
Here are the main ways Clay Gardens Place in Zanesville supports your health and improvement.
Engaging Activities
One of the first things you should do as a senior is make a plan to be active and engaged. Studies show that many seniors battle loneliness, with Michigan Medicine stating that about 33% of all seniors struggle with such feelings.
It may surprise you to learn that these conditions can affect your health. The stress and strain of loneliness can cause further strain on your heart, snowballing the conditions.
Instead of surrendering to such feelings, take the time to engage in the community around you. Find social events that will help you make friends with your neighbors and peers.
You should also look for events that are lively, outdoors, and active. Game days where we enjoy our time in the sun or strolling through our local gardens.
Need a day out of the house? Zanesville is only 50 miles from Columbus, and as the pottery capital of the world, you won't run out of activities anytime soon. Check out our Zanesville Neighborhood write-up to learn more!
Effective Amenities
Another core way to keep your heart and mind bolstered is by seeing the amenities and services your community offers. These often focus on your health, engagement, and activity level.
Our team provides a professional and caring staff that's nearby 24/7 to always be there for you. Our chefs also prepare three meals a day to make sure you're getting the healthiest, most wholesome meals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Still Exercise With Mobility Restrictions?
As we age, it's common for our bodies to lose a considerable amount of mobility. And while that can feel disheartening and daunting for us, it's not the end that it feels like at first.
There are countless exercises and activities made specifically for seniors dealing with mobility limitations. Some are designed to be done while sitting so that seniors can get the exercise they need and stay balanced. Others focus on light aerobic exercise rather than high-impact, intense exercise.
What Other Support Is There?
It's easy to feel like you're all alone, especially when these problems first appear. But as you adjust to the new normal, you'll be astonished to learn how much love and support is available for you.
Your family is a constant stream of support and love. Don't isolate yourself from them! Reach out and stay in contact, even if it just means a few phone calls a week.
Of course, we here at Clay Gardens are proud to offer you all the support we can. Our team of professionals will also help you in reaching out to receive the support you need from other medical professionals.
It's important to focus on your physical and cardiovascular health. However, don't make the mistake of assuming that there's no link between your cardiovascular and mental health.
