WHAT IS THE TIERED EXERCISE

PROGRAM?The Tiered Exercise Program

includes three exercise programs for older adults who are either chair-

bound, have transfer ability, or are ambulatory. The exercise programs are

evidence-based, include 10 exercises each that are simple yet progressive, and will help participants maintain or improve their current functional abilities to help them age in place. The program also includes a tool to help match participants with the appropriate program level, picture packages for all three programs, and a video of one of the programs. The Tiered Exercise Program can be administered in large or small group format, or one-on-one.
