St. Joseph Care Group/Lakehead Psychiatric Hospital offers a seniors' psychiatry day program that includes the Seniors' Fitness Program. Our program is unique as it is geared for seniors with mental illness and physical ailments.

The daily exercise program consists or 30 minutes of either seated Yoga, seated weight strengthening and toning, seated cardio or seated stretching. Health promotion lectures (on topics such as dental health, fall prevention and warding off the common cold virus), guest speakers (pharmacists,dieticians and nurses)and group activities are also offered.

Consumers provide program evaluation and planning through suggestion box, satisfaction surveys and verbally to staff. We have received positive consumer feedback regarding benefits gained.

A challenge is to keep consumers motivated to participate regularly in the program and to continue with lifestyle changes in day to day life.
