Below are some examples of how health and wellness trends are achieved at Argo Senior Living:
1. Fitness Programs
Fitness is essential to the daily programming offered in senior living communities. These activities are proven to reduce depression and stress, muscle loss, and help fight loneliness within older adults. Argo Senior Living encourage residents to join both formal and informal groups, making it easier to exercise in any setting.
2. Healthy Meal Plans
Eating well-balanced meals is important for living healthy and well. But for many seniors, maintaining good eating habits can be challenging. Lack of transportation, meal management, and malnutrition are a few common causes of a poor diet. Seniors who live in retirement communities can enjoy the benefit of receiving their daily nutrients. At Argo Senior Living our meals are planned by a nutritionist and prepared by a very talented chef.
3. Planned Social Activities
In senior living communities, you’re never too old to discover new hobbies. Argo Senior Living give residents a full calendar of planned social activities and group outings. Active, independent residents can participate in various activities that are designed to support engagement, connection, and fellowship.
4. Classes
There’s always something new to learn every day, at any age. Some classes gives people a chance to explore new skills and interests outside the classroom. It also helps seniors keep their minds active by creating more ways to inspire curiosity. The classes offered at retirement communities often cover literature, creative writing, history, art, as well as chess and book clubs.
5. Wellness Education Workshops
Although diet and exercise are key drivers behind wellness, there is so much more to learn about its philosophy. Argo Senior Living often holds wellness group sessions to inform residents about the importance of healthy aging. T
Since retirement communities are continually evolving to meet the needs of their residents, wellness education stands as a leading incentive that guides seniors to live longer, healthier lives.
