Staying Active is important in Senior Living Communities

Making the decision to move to a senior living community doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your daily activeness and exercise. Staying active is an important part of your lifestyle as you age. Exercise has a plethora of benefits such as the opportunity for social activity, improved strength and mobility and strengthened mental function. Now, I’m not talking about the kind of exercise that involves heavy weight lifting or running a marathon, simply going for a five minute walk has benefits for your heart and bones.

At Glenbrooke at Palm Bay, you will find several ways to fulfill your exercise goals. Both our independent living and assisted living communities have access to a wellness center strategically designed for seniors. At the fitness center, you can join in on yoga or martial arts classes that are well-suited for each and every one of our cherished residents. Independent living residents have access to our seasonally heated outdoor swimming pool which is perfect for year-round enjoyment. At the pool, residents can participate in aqua aerobics classes that are easy on the joints and enhance balance. On the property for independent living, you will also find landscaped walking paths. Residents enjoy strolls on the trail to experience the nature and weather in beautiful Palm Bay, Florida. With options for independent or assisted living residents, you can be rest assured that an active lifestyle is encouraged at Glenbrooke at Palm Bay.

Our job at Glenbrooke at Palm Bay is to help you enjoy life in retirement. Part of happy living is taking care of your body. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps fight disease and keep your muscles and brain strong. Join the Glenbrooke at Palm Bay community in choosing to improve overall well-being and pursue an active way of life.

We watched Glenbrooke being built and knew right away that we would be selling our home to enjoy our retirement here. We have been here since 2003 and we will continue living here. Glenbrooke’s staff is second to none and they have become our family. Our friends that live here at Glenbrooke are also more like family. We enjoy the activities and lifestyle that Glenbrooke offers and truly believe there is not a better place to live out our retirement!

As a widower, I felt extremely lonely and disconnected in my neighborhood and home. My friend introduced me to the idea of retirement living in an independent retirement community. I looked at several in Brevard County, but none had the sense of family or friendliness that Glenbrooke has. I’m here at Glenbrooke to stay!

I waited too long to make the move to Glenbrooke. I visited many times and told several of my friends to move, but couldn't seem to brave it for myself. The staff at Glenbrooke never gave up on me, and even helped to see me through the selling of my home and assisted with all the arrangements to make the move! I now feel that I have regained my zest for life and am proud to say that I have found the person I enjoy spending all my time with. I would have never had such an opportunity staying in ...my house. I am truly at home here!

My husband and I selected Glenbrooke as our home of choice to enhance our retirement lifestyle, but never thought about what Glenbrooke would offer if either of us passed away. After his passing, our children asked me to move closer to them. Even with my limited vision, I am able to maintain an independent, active, vibrant and fulfilling lifestyle. The staff is always available to meet any wants or needs that I may have, and they always do it with a smile and a hug.

Moving to Glenbrooke is the best decision I have ever made. I feel safe, secure and completely at home. My friends and family who come to visit can’t believe that my apartment is so spacious and beautiful! They are always complimenting me on my home and I never get tired of hearing the words “what a nice apartment”. The friends and family I have gained since moving here have definitely helped fill a void in my life, and I have peace of mind everyday knowing I have the freedom to engage as much or as little as I want.

I LOVE Living at Glenbrooke! They truly care about us. We asked for a change to the food and it was done quickly and is delicious. Thank you, Glenbrooke for taking such great care of us and making sure we are happy residents.
