6 Incredible Services Available At Our Vitality Center

Here at Ciela, one of the amenities that we view as our pride and joy is our Vitality Center. This incredible spa facility offers so many health and wellness services to our residents and truly helps them to experience exactly what it means to live at a luxury senior living community in Los Angeles. The Vitality Center goes above and beyond from only offering basic massage techniques or a simple jacuzzi tub. Instead, these services are meant to be life changing and can help you to elevate your personal well being.

Join us as we take a closer look at the Vitality Center and the kinds of services that are available to all Ciela residents:

#1

One on One Personal Training

A knowledgeable and caring personal trainer will work with you directly on an individualized basis to create a plan of action and program to help you to reach all of your fitness goals. From curating workouts to teaching you safe and effective exercises, you will be quite literally in the best possible hands.

Yoga Classes

Do you want to soothe your mind as well as improve your body’s strength and flexibility? Here at Ciela, our Vitality Center offers a variety of yoga classes suited for both beginners and veterans alike! Sign up for a course and allow one of our instructors to help you relax and more at ease while also improving your flexibility. There are also additional classes available in Tai Chi, which is an ancient practice that combines breathing exercises with slow and steady movements to create a meaningful, yet low-impact workout perfect for those with various levels of mobility.

#3

Physical Therapy

While different senior living communities in Los Angeles may require you to travel off campus to receive quality physical therapy treatment, Ciela never will. Our Vitality Center employs a team of certified and highly educated physical therapists that will help you navigate recovering from a variety of surgeries or injuries. We will work with you directly to come up with a treatment plan that is manageable as well as effective. In addition to this, we will continue to monitor your progress and ensure that we are doing everything necessary to decrease your risk of falls or reinjury.

#4

Sound Guided Meditation

Assisting those with dementia, Alzheimers, and other forms of cognitive decline is one of our specialties here at Ciela. We are constantly researching new, innovative ways to help bolster the day to day lives of our memory care residents. One way of doing this is by utilizing sound guided meditation. This is an FDA-approved form of meditation and cognitive therapy which assists seniors with staying mindful, sharp, and living in the present. Our meditation guides lead residents by curating a holistic approach that allows them the opportunity to reflect on their whole self.

#5

Strength Training Courses

Did you know that your muscles control so much more than your body’s movement? In fact, according to research, muscles have a direct correlation to your immune system and can help it to function at optimal capacity. However, because the immune system can naturally weaken with age, it becomes all the more important to see to your health and well being. This is why we endeavor to offer our residents various strength training classes and encourage them to stay physically strong.

Participating in the group fitness courses available at our senior living community in Los Angeles isn’t just a fun way to stay in shape, but it can help you to stay more social, too! If you are a new resident, joining a class can help you to meet new people and create lasting connections within the community.

#6

Hydrotherapy Spa

The last service on our list is perhaps one of the best services available in the Vitality Center, and that’s our hydrotherapy spa. Water is an incredibly healing resource, able to assist those of all ages in a variety of capacities. It is especially beneficial to those with chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis. The natural hydrostatic pressure of water helps relax joints which in turn improves strength and boosts flexibility. Our underwater treadmill is also an extremely helpful component to our physical therapy sessions.

Better Sleep

Other than improving strength and flexibility, participating in hydrotherapy can also do wonders for the quality of your sleep. If you are someone who suffers from joint stiffness and pain, you know first hand just how difficult it can be to get comfortable and properly rest at night. Thanks to the curative properties of hydrotherapy, however, you can look forward to peaceful and restorative sleep.

Improved Balance

Did you know that falls are among the most common causes of both fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults in the United States? According to research, aquatic training, such as the use of hydrotherapy, is an extremely important element to any comprehensive training and rehabilitation program. Doing so improves your neuromuscular coordination and postural control which drastically decreases your risk of falling.

Decreased Pain and Improved Gait

For those living with osteoarthritis, especially in the knees, you know just how painful it can be. This condition can also negatively affect your gait, which can also contribute to falling or injuries. Participating in hydrotherapy, specifically using an underwater treadmill, can not only decrease your joint pain but improve your gait when you walk. These are two benefits that aren’t typically found just by simply using a land treadmill alone.
