Weekday Wellness Program

The Weekday Wellness Program is a 12-week wellness service for assisted living residents who would benefit from greater consistency with walking and an established exercise routine.

Physical therapy appointments are important, but maintaining regular movement between appointments can be difficult. Residents may know what they are supposed to do but still need encouragement, accountability, and someone who consistently shows up.

One brief wellness visit is provided each weekday, Monday through Friday, for the duration of the program, subject to resident availability, facility access, holidays, and program policies.

• Five to ten minutes of walking at the resident’s previously established level
• Completion of one short, established wellness exercise routine
• Encouragement, cueing, and personal accountability
• Simple tracking of participation
• Communication with the family and facility when authorized

Visits are intentionally brief and consistent. The goal is to replace long periods of inactivity with regular opportunities to move.

Regular movement can help older adults:

• Maintain strength, endurance, and mobility
• Support balance and confidence while walking
• Preserve the ability to perform everyday activities
• Build consistency with an established exercise routine
• Reinforce healthy habits between therapy appointments
• Reduce prolonged periods of sitting and inactivity
• Feel more engaged, supported, and motivated
• Protect mobility and independence over time

Rather than depending on occasional reminders, residents receive consistent personal support to help turn their walking and exercise routine into a daily habit.

The program may be appropriate for assisted living residents who:

• Have already been cleared to participate in walking and exercise
• Have an established walking or wellness routine
• Can participate without skilled clinical treatment or decision-making
• Need encouragement, structure, companionship, or accountability
• Have difficulty following through independently between appointments

Participation is subject to facility approval and confirmation that the resident can safely participate in a non-skilled wellness program.

The Weekday Wellness Program is a private-pay wellness service. It is not physical therapy, skilled gait training, medical treatment, or a substitute for services provided by the resident’s physical therapist, physician, nursing staff, or assisted living facility.

No medical diagnosis is made, and no physical therapy treatment plan or exercise program is created, progressed, or modified during these visits. The service is not billed to or reimbursable by Medicare or other insurance. Participants are responsible for all program fees.

The Weekday Wellness Program is available at participating assisted living communities.
