Some examples of activities and programs to benefit the elderly that are currently operating in the commune through the different offices of the Municipality of Yumbel and the Cesfam and Yumbel Hospital are:

• Sports workshops such as aerobics and yoga, accompanied by educational workshops and health programs that promote a healthy lifestyle and diet; the sports workshops provide a range of benefits, such as ensuring general well-being, controlling weight, reducing body fat, in addition to reducing various pathologies or diseases, such as cardiac alterations or hypertension. Playing sports allows older people to engage in active aging and improves the quality of life of older adults.
• Dance workshops; the workshops improve the physical and mental health of the elderly because dance helps to reduce stress, improves coordination, balance, resistance, prevents cognitive deterioration and benefits the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

In addition the physical benefits, these workshops help improve patience and perseverance, foster self-esteem, enable elderly to feel present in the moment and promote creativity.
