The MacArthur Foundation's groundbreaking Study of Aging in America showed how lifestyle choices influence the way people age. The findings inspired Senior Lifestyle Corporation's award-winning Fit For Life program. Looking beyond diet and exercise, Fit For Life focuses on healthy choices for body, mind and soul. In addition to encouraging regular physical activity, good nutrition and attention to medical care, the program helps stimulate mental function and build social relationships to keep our residents Fit For Life.
Fit For Life™ Day at the Breakers!
We put together a "health fair” type of event where each of the Directors picked one of the six components of Fit for Life™ and had a table display. The team did an awesome job of researching their topic and providing hand outs and give-a-ways. The Director of Dining Services, Hector Nunez, put together a great food display of healthy foods - fresh fruit, granola bars, and smoothies. The event included a raffle for a massage and Fit For Life™ T-shirts for all the residents who attended.
It was a huge success and great "re-kickoff" for the community, and again I can't say enough about how much the department heads put in to this event to make it special for the residents.
