Group Living Course 1210 – Strategies for Helping Residents Avoid Sedentary Lifestyles
Sedentary lifestyles cannot be ignored in care. Learn why residents become too inactive,
how obesity impacts group living, and how to build simple, sustainable activity routines
that keep your Adult Foster Care residents moving, engaged, and safer.
Explore why residential care owners and managers must pay attention to inactivity:
from muscle loss and falls to depression, pressure injuries, and increased care costs.
Obesity Risks in Group Living
Understand the specific risks of obesity among group home residents and how weight gain,
limited mobility, and poor diet combine to threaten long-term health and independence.
Designing Everyday Activity
Learn practical, low-cost activities that fit into busy shifts, support different ability
levels, and help you document meaningful engagement for Michigan Adult Foster Care compliance.
