Governor Rell Signs Innovative Legislation Initiated by Seabury - Enabling Seniors to Stay At Home
Seabury is establishing a "Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) Without Walls", to provide a comprehensive package of coordinated long-term-care services for seniors who would prefer to stay in their own homes as they age. As part of Seabury’s mission, the development of Seabury At Home will also offer a more affordable option to area seniors, who may not be able to afford to move into a life-care community.
The Continuing-Care-At-Home concept is not new, nor does it vary in any significant way from a traditional CCRC. Like a traditional CCRC, the at-home program offers a continuum of services and housing, which are centrally planned and administered.

Circle of Wellness: Your Brain on Exercise
We all know that exercise is good for the body. Now, scientists are discovering it’s good for the brain as well. In recent years researchers have found that exercise improves memory, concentration, and abstract reasoning among older adults, and may even delay the onset of Alzheimer’s. It works like this: aerobic exercise increases blood flow to the brain, which nourishes brain cells and allows them to function more effectively—“kind of like making sure your engine is all tuned up,” says Waneen Spirduso, Ed.D., a professor at the University of Texas at Austin and the author of Exercise and Its Mediating Effects on Cognition (Human Kinetics, 2007).
