Allerton House at The Village at Duxbury

Wellness/Fitness Program

The Health Services Coordinator, a Registered Nurse, coordinates various appointments with physicians, the Visiting Nurse Association, and clinics. She holds wellness hours each day and ongoing meetings to discuss resident health issues and concerns. The Health Services Coordinator also conducts all pre-move in assessments, ongoing assessments, and individual resident service plans.

Our residents have use of the fully-equipped Fitness Center at the Village at Duxbury on a scheduled basis. Our equipment includes a treadmill, Nustep (combination recumbent stair stepper and rowing machine), and a stationary bike for cardiovascular endurance. We also have six air pressure resistance machines for muscle strength and endurance, modeled after the Tufts University study on physical fitness and aging.
