The Balanced Care Method is based on studies of the extraordinarily long-lived elders living in the islands of Okinawa, Japan. Life spans of over 100 years are not unusual there! The Balanced Care Method promotes the lifestyle factors central to these centenarian’s healthy longevity, including cognitive stimulation, nutrition, physical activity, a sense of calm and purpose, and social engagement. HCA incorporates this Method in every aspect of care in our client’s day-to-day lives. #BCM #Longevity #SeniorCare
