Health & Wellness
An Integrated Approach to Wellbeing
Because research shows benefits for healthful aging, we plan our programs to support wellbeing through an integrated mind-body-spirit approach to health and wellness. In addition to health care, our health and wellness approach combines physical activity, mental stimulation, nutrition, socialization, and spiritual fulfillment as follows:
- Physical Activity
- Physical activity supports heart, muscular and skeletal strength and supplies oxygenated blood to the brain, supporting cognitive health.
- Mental Stimulation
- Mental stimulation helps develop and maintain cellular connections in the brain and defend against neurodegenerative conditions.
- Nutrition
- Nutrition is important in combating the effects of aging. For example, foods such as salmon, fish oil and walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids that support brain and heart health, while foods like blueberries, broccoli, green tea and chocolate are rich in antioxidants that help defend against cancers and the impact of damaging agents (free radicals) on the brain.
- Socialization
- Socialization is very important to keeping people happy and stimulated, which in turn supports health, cognitive function, and even longevity, according to some studies.
- Spiritual Fulfillment
- Spiritual fulfillment and being part of a community are also shown to help reduce stress and contribute to health, happiness and longevity.
- Using these core principles, we seek to promote wellbeing so that each resident experiences a quality of life that makes each day enjoyable.
