Intro
At Menghani Nursing Home, we understand that mobility challenges shouldn’t stand in the way of living a healthy, active life. Our team is dedicated to providing safe and effective physical activity routines tailored for residents with limited mobility—helping improve their strength, flexibility, and mental well-being.
Why Exercise Matters, Even with Limited Mobility
Seniors with restricted movement can still benefit greatly from low-impact exercises. Regular activity helps:
- Reduce stiffness and joint pain
- Improve circulation and heart health
- Boost mood and mental alertness
- Prevent pressure sores and muscle wasting

At Menghani Nursing Home, our care team—including physiotherapists and trained caregivers—creates personalized movement plans that are:
- Safe: All activities are supervised, with safety as our top priority
- Simple: Designed to be done in a wheelchair or bed
- Supportive: Encouraged at each resident’s own pace
