Do you want to return to your active lifestyle and maintain your level of earned fitness/wellness/ mobility after your therapy services?
Would you like to supplement your lifestyle changes with dynamic and safe exercise programs?
Need encouragement and motivation with a focus on healthy sleeping habits and exercises tailored specifically to you?
We’ve found that many seniors find themselves in a tough position when they need physical therapy, but Medicare or insurance no longer cover it. Due to this, patients often end up losing physical therapy just as they start to see results. At Morpheus Wellness, we attempt to address this by providing private pay fitness, health & wellness programs for seniors. While this is NOT physical therapy, and hence not covered by Medicare or Insurance, it can be a good option for those who want to continue improvement after physical therapy with our fitness and wellness programs.
Our compassionate team aims to enhance a safe and active lifestyle by providing you the resources to achieve your highest level of general health and well-being.
How Can We Help?
“Mom/dad are not going to follow the home exercise program, I just know it. I’m worried she/he will fall again/get weak/go back to the hospital.”
Morpheus Wellness discovered a need for continued supervised fitness and wellness services after home health or outpatient therapy discharge . Our customized programs may help prevent the following:
- decline in strength and balance
- decrease in walking frequency
- decreased socialization
- deconditioning i.e. “couch potato”
- risk of injury / falls
- hospitalization/re-hospitalization
A Return to optimal living
Morpheus Wellness co-founders, Dean Flores and Lynda Parks, have over 30 years of combined experience in the physical therapy, fitness, health and wellness fields. Their careers in the home health setting resulted in a strong knowledge of neurologic, cardiac, musculoskeletal and cognitive impairments pertaining to the geriatric population. Dean and Lynda’s unique combination of holistic and clinical approach led them to create a program that molds personal preferences and likes around the wellness/ fitness program, turning it more into an experience than a workout.
