August is National Wellness Month, a time dedicated to prioritizing self-care and building healthy routines. While wellness is a vital focus at every stage of life, it takes on special importance as we age. For older adults, embracing a holistic approach to health can lead to a more vibrant, purposeful, and fulfilling lifestyle. At The Moorings at Lewes, a premier community for senior living in Delaware, we are committed to supporting this journey through our comprehensive and award-winning wellness program.
The Springpoint LivWell Program: A Holistic Approach
At The Moorings at Lewes, we believe that true wellness encompasses more than just physical health. Our award-winning LivWell program is built on a philosophy that supports the seven dimensions of wellness: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, vocational, environmental, and spiritual. By focusing on these areas, we help our residents live a life full of meaning and purpose. This integrated approach ensures that every resident has the opportunity to thrive and pursue their passions.
Physical Activity and Nutrition: Fueling a Vibrant Life
Physical activity is a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle for seniors. Regular exercise helps maintain mobility, strengthen muscles, and boost mental clarity. Our community offers a variety of ways to stay active, from our state-of-the-art fitness and aquatics center to tai chi and balance classes.
