Promoting wellness and independence among residents and rehabilitation patients in Evanston
Perfect for exercise and a great place for short-term rehabilitation or long-term wellness, the Kimble Fitness and Therapeutic Center is a welcoming spot for older adults. Our 25,000 square foot, two-story facility is especially designed to promote wellness, fitness and independence among all residents as well as short-term patients at McGaw Care Center.
Located at Westminster Place in Evanston, the Kimble Fitness and Therapeutic Center is a spectacular recreation center for residents of Westminster Place, Ten Twenty Grove and King Home.
The sun-filled center offers:
- fitness pool for lap swimming and water aerobics (temperature 84°F)
- warm water therapy pool (temperature 94°F)
- spacious exercise room with overhead TV's and fitness equipment modified for seniors
- strength-building equipment, treadmills, and bicycles
Throughout the day, our professional fitness staff leads a variety of land- and water-based exercise classes for all fitness and mobility levels. "Water Dynamics" and "Bodies in Motion" are a few of the classes to help residents use major muscle groups, increase heart rates, raise metabolism and improve flexibility and range of motion. The fitness center staffers teach residents how to use the exercise equipment, encourage them with tips on form, and help them track their performance. All the classes promote a high level of independence and camaraderie among participants.
The Kimble Fitness Center also includes a billiards room and the James Room -- a beautiful multi-purpose room (complete with a full kitchen) for parties, meetings and classes.
The center is open year-round, and residents may access the building through indoor passageways during inclement weather.
A powerful rehabilitation tool for Evanston-area seniors
Presbyterian Homes offers one of the most comprehensive physical therapy programs in the area. When you choose McGaw Care Center for rehabilitation, our physical therapy professionals use the warm water pool as part of your therapy. A total joint replacement program was developed at McGaw in conjunction with two local hospitals to encourage the use of this water therapy. The Kimble Fitness and Therapeutic Center was designed to meet the needs of an older population, and the pool is accessible by ramp and hydraulic lift.
