Stay Healthy at King's Bridge

In order to promote wellness throughout the resident population, a Wellness Clinic is staffed seven days a week. The staff plays a vital role in the day-to-day life of residents by providing a wide range of supportive services designed to:

monitor and assess residents' healthcare as needed
provide emergency assistance
keep residents informed about relevant health-related issues
maintain a link with residents' healthcare providers
provide specific services as requested by residents' physicians
encourage residents in their efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle
deliver assistance services as requested by residents.

Exercise - Research studies have clearly shown that seniors who exercise have a higher quality of life for a longer period of time and are able to more easily perform the activities of daily living. To keep our residents flexible and strong, we offer four exercise classes per week. Classes are conducted by an exercise physiologist. Sittercise, a low-intensity aerobics class, is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays; and Muscle Works, a workout with light weights is offered on Mondays and Fridays.

Health Forums - Health forums are normally held several times monthly. These forums feature guests speakers who discuss wellness topics of interest to the senior adult.

Exercise Equipment - Residents of King's Bridge may enjoy the exercise equipment in our Exercise Room. Equipment includes treadmills, stationary cycles and rowing machines.

Electronic Magnifier - King's Bridge has a ClearView electronic magnifier, a system using closed-circuit TV technology to enlarge printed materials for people who can no longer comfortably use glasses or special lenses to read regular size print. The ClearView magnifier enables the vision impaired to read independently again, write letters, fill out forms and checks, and perform other reading activities that have been lost due to low vision. The system is available for use in the Library during regular operating hours.

Foot Care - A pedicurist is available for pedicures twice monthly.

Massage Therapy - A licensed massage therapist will come to your apartment at your convenience.

Hearing Clinic - An Audiologist is availible for hearing screenings on a quarterly basis as well as help residents with hearing aids, cleaning and batteries.

VIP (Visually Impaired Persons) Support Group - A support group meets twice monthly for those with vision problems, including macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, as well as other conditions. Members are able to share their experiences with others in the group. Education and sharing helpful information is a priority of this group.

Walking Club - This group is for people of all fitness levels who enjoy walking. The group meets regularly to walk at interesting local sites, including the campus of Emory University and Stone Mountain Park.
