Stroke survival among seniors better in sociable neighbourhoods

According to research published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association, seniors living in neighbourhoods where they interact more often with their neighbours and count on them for help have much better odds when it comes to surviving strokes.

One of the main objectives for Tall Trees has always been to promote better health and wellbeing for all of our residents through creating a friendly neighbourhood environment and encouraging interaction with each other.

Tall Trees offers aged care in five different neighbourhoods between Brisbane and Tweed Heads and we understand that a positive social setting is very important to the health of seniors.

Seniors in our neighbourhoods are not only supported by our staff and carers, but also by the network of friends they develop when living in a Tall Trees neighbourhood.

Tall Trees aged care encourage a wide range of social activities on a weekly basis, because we know the effect that stress has on happiness and health.
