We specialize in Rehab and Wellness Programs. Stroke revover, 1 on 1 rehab, pre and post knee and hip rehab and many other rehab needs. Functional group fitness classes and various yoga programs.
 

Winnipeg’s first Older Adult Wellness and Rehab Facility operated by Candace Swick - Functional Older Adult Rehab Therapist. As an accredited facilitator she provides specialized programs for the older adult population. She is located in South West Winnipeg, in Charleswood. This newly opened site provides programs to clients in River Heights, St. James, Headingly, Charleswood and Ft. Gary. There are people now coming from the Osborne area as well. In Candace’s words she says this independent site allows me to fulfill my dreams to help the older adult population to stay Functional within their community.”

Based on her own training and certification both in Canada and the USA, she felt confident that she could now provide a much needed service by opening her own older adult facility. Her company “Bee Wellness” offers various programs for those of all needs and who want to remain in their community and still maintain their independence. All programs are adapted to meet each person’s individual needs. Candace and her instructors offer such programs as;

- Functional Fitness

- Functional One on One Rehab for people who need to work on the following areas;
o   Balance
o   Stroke recovery
o   MS
o   Parkinson’s
o   Pre & Post Knee, Hip and Shoulder rehab
o   Osteoporosis and Arthritis

- One on one Rehab for those who need to work on recovery of their body to get back to a
functioning state

- Wellness Programs: Tai Chi and  Yoga Zumba

- Community and Long Term care programs

NEW TO BEE WELLNESS-

- Bee Wellness is now recognized by MPI
- Bee Wellness will be doing pilot Wellness programs in the Fall of 2013 for
  “Caregivers and their family member”

Here at Bee Wellness we provide a family atmosphere that allows people to feel that they are welcome and belong in this “SAFE” “WARM” environment. As Candace continues to say, “My dream and goal is to keep as many older adults active and functioning!” This will help them live a longer and more vibrant life in their community. So when people say “Thank you Candace”, we can move way better or we can now lift 8 pound weights instead of 3 pound weights, she knows she is well on her way to achieving her goals and dreams.

Retirement can be exciting, a longed-for time in a person's life.  But for some life might lose it's zest and purpose.  What are you looking forward to as you consider the next chapter in your life if you are not quite there yet?  But if you are retired already here is something you need to know.

A couple of years ago PAL (55+) started in South West Winnipeg and has been growing by leaps and bounds since then.

Now you have time to focus on your good health by doing regular fitness programs, develop new hobbies, spend more fun time with friends and make new friends, get satisfaction by contributing a little of your skills and work experience by volunteering.  All of this can be achieved through PAL (55+).

Guide Offers Quick Access
To Resources for Seniors:  Minister Crothers

The Manitoba government is launching a new edition of the Seniors’ Guide, Healthy Living and Seniors Minister Deanne Crothers announced today at the Creative Retirement Manitoba Centre in Winnipeg.  

“We’re always striving to provide more information to help Manitoba seniors,” said Minister Crothers.  “The Seniors’ Guide was first printed more than 30 years ago and not surprisingly, it is still one of the province’s most popular publications.  This guide is filled with helpful information so that seniors and their families have quick access to information that can enhance their health, independence and well-being.”

The minister said the new edition of the guide provides information on health and wellness, active living, lifelong learning, housing, transportation, financial security, legal matters, home safety, caregiving, emergency services and much more.  She encourages older Manitobans and their families to keep a copy handy for referral on these important topics.

“The senior years are exciting and challenging,” said Dave Schellenberg, chair, Manitoba Council on Aging.  “Our council believes it is important to have access to as much information as possible to help us better understand and enjoy life.”

For a free copy of the Seniors’ Guide, contact the Manitoba Seniors and Healthy Aging Secretariat  at 1610–155 Carlton St., Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 3H8, or call the Seniors Information Line at 204-945-6565 or 1-800-665-6565 (toll-free) or visit www.manitoba.ca/shas.  The guide is also available online at www.gov.mb.ca/shas/publications/docs/seniors_guide.pdf.
