 The Wellness Center is dedicated to improving the
wellness of Good Shepherd-Fairview Home’s residents through the
enhancement and enrichment of the body, soul and spirit. We strive to
provide residents with a proactive environment to maintain or improve
their health.
The Wellness Center Coordinator is a NYS Licensed
Physical Therapist Assistant and Certified Professional Senior
Personal Trainer. The center has both cardiovascular and strength
training equipment. The cardiovascular equipment includes two Landice
treadmills and two NuSteps. The six Keiser strength training pieces
are state-of-the-art. The pneumatic resistance technology results in
equipment that is quiet, less stressful to use and more easily
controlled.
 Participants are required to have medical clearance
from their physicians. Each resident receives a one-on-one orientation
to discuss goals and benefits of the program. Pulse, blood pressure
and oxygen levels are taken at the beginning of each session.
The Wellness Center is also available to staff and is
just one of the benefits of employment at the Home.
