WINNIPEG, MB: Bergen Gardens, a progressive assisted living facility located in the North Kildonan neighbourhood, is pleased to be hosting a fall prevention seminar for its tenants this September. The seminar will be presented by Physiotherapy inMotion and focus on empowering tenants with strategies for decreasing the chances of falling.
Nearby Winnipeg communities include: Elmwood – Northeast Winnipeg, across the Red River; Munroe – Often refers to the Munroe East/Munroe West areas, right next to or within Elmwood; St. Boniface – Just south of Elmwood, across the river (more central, historic French district).
With 149 assisted living suites and 4 dementia-friendly Memory Care Cottages (each with 12 residents), Bergen Gardens is an assisted living facility where creativity, choice, and well-being are truly foregrounded. Tenants are actively encouraged to build connections within their community – including with nature, pets, and loved ones – while also leading independent, fulfilling lives in a welcoming, biophilically-designed environment. Every element of Bergen Gardens has been intentionally developed to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The facility’s extensive on-site amenities include a fitness centre, activity room, cinema, reading room, greenhouse and garden, culinary and wellness services, and a town square with a broad range of accessible products and services.
As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting health and wellness opportunities for its tenants, Bergen Gardens is putting on a fall prevention seminar this September. The seminar will be presented by Physiotherapy inMotion, a contracted service provider that works in collaboration with Bergen Gardens to offer tenants physiotherapy, massage therapy, and foot care services. Falls can be dangerous and have far-reaching consequences for seniors, which is why understanding how to prevent them is a priority. The seminar date will be announced shortly.
“Many of our tenants have concerns about balance and worry about falls, especially in the winter,” said Kim McMillan, Interim Executive Director of Bergen Gardens. “We’re thrilled to be bringing this seminar to our community so we can all equip ourselves with the tools necessary to stay active – and safe – as the weather turns colder.”
