In this time of unknown that we are experiencing through these months, Radiant Care is changing our approach to things like exercise and activity!

How do you encourage residents and tenants to maintain activity and a healthy lifestyle whilst also not being able to interact as usual?

Well here at Radiant Care, we have been blessed with amazing people in our community like Alexa Schonewille! Alexa is a Niagara College Canada graduate who has been working with us to get our Radiant Care family active and moving!

Now that we have moved into a time of social distancing, Zoom Video Communications has played a big role in allowing our senior Fitness & Wellness Centre members to continue their exercise routines with friends!

Previous to the current changes in service, Alexa had been coordinating recent Niagara College graduates, as well as students currently enrolled in co-op placements to provide our seniors with encouragement through their fitness journey. Students in programs including Fitness and Health Promotion, Exercise Science for Health and Performance, and Occupational Therapist Assistants and Physiotherapist Assistants are able to gain valuable experience for their industries through this program.

Now, since April 8th, Alexa has been running fitness classes for our Fitness & Wellness members virtually through video chat. All of this happens whilst maintaining proper social distancing measures by using Zoom Video. Read more about Radiant Care’s virtual fitness classes. We are so blessed to have people in our community willing to step up and create alternative ways for our seniors to live their lives to the fullest amidst this season of unknown!
