StyroMotion in use at assisted living center.
Several years ago my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and eventually had to be admitted to an assisted living facility. During the time she was in the assisted living facility, I was able to watch her participate in some of the activities available to her and the other residents. The activity director told me about the challenges involved in providing safe movement activities for the residents. She also mentioned that it can be difficult to get residents to participate. This is where the inspiration to develop StyroMotion™ first started.
Today, StyroMotion is being used in a growing number of Senior Centers, Independent Living Facilities, Personal Care Facilities, Assisted Living Facilities in 6 states. StyroMotion™ allows individuals of all ages to engage in safe upper body movement activities to achieve a low impact, fun workout.
