Active Aging Week at our community is one for the books!🎉
Together with our partners at NIFS Fitness Center Management, we hosted a special event called Move Your Mood, and our residents and staff showed up in a big way!
Movement does more than strength in the body. It supports sharper thinking a brighter mood and overall well-being. Throughout the Move Your Mood Day and this week, our community got moving with:
Aqua Classes
Tai Chi
NuStep Workouts
Fitness classes
Walks around our beautiful campus
When the final tally came in residents and staff had logged more than 500 workouts🙌
Thank you to everyone who laced up, splashed in, and stepped out. You prove that every move counts and we’re stronger together.
Thank you to NIFS for being such a wonderful partner! Here’s to moving our bodies, lifting our moods and keeping the energy going all year long!🩵💚
